I just ordered 4 Geolandar A/T 265 60 18's from tirerack at $152ea. The last set were $420ea from a local. Even with $350 freight I'm still miles in front. :)
Tyre rack quoted me $500 for four tyres. :mad:
I wonder if ther are other options in US. I may try AJS in UK.
i paid about $475 for freight for 4 tyres. about $120 in GST. $80 for local fitting and balancing. paid US$295 vs $750 and no stock locally per tyre for Conti crosscontacts. (20")
Hi Pohm66
Do you want New or Secondhand As I have a few secondhand of various thread depth, PM me your phone number if you are in need of a secondhand good General Gabber tyre.
Mike
Have you considered buying two of the new GG At's.
They are reportedly a better tyre & are available via Jax tyres I beleive.
They are the same size & about $350 ea fitted.
Then later you could buy the rest.
Regards
Chuck

I need two and haven't been able to source any in Perth. I have been advised that earliest delivery in Australia is early Sept and at prices way better than available through Tire Rack.
I originally bought tyres through Tire Rack but as indicated earlier in the thread shipping costs per 4x tyres have escalated significantly over the past 12mths.
May 2011 - US$
Here is the quote:
FED EXPRESS (1-3 DAYS) - $ 1131.19 SHIPPING METHOD FIP
FED ECONOMY (3-5 DAYS) - $ 409.33 SHIPPING METHOD FIE
4 56HR8GRAT2XL 255/60R18 GE*GRAB AT 2 XL US$216.00
Total US$864.00 PLUS FEDEX SHIPPING
Added costs are international bank tx/cc fees, fitting balancing = result approx AUD$325+ per tyre without any warranty.
Close call unless desperate.

There is another thread about GG AT's.
From memory some guys have had them fitted recently.
These are the GG AT's sourced out of Europe not USA.

Thanks Guys, I now have a couple of good contacts. PMs away:)
In the unlikely event these fall through I'll try Jax tyres or import.
A good pre-loved tyre is definitely my preferance as this would be number 6 tyre.
