Should have said "I just got it. How do I do that?"

And then stood back and watched..

My GOE rims are arriving soon . It is largely due to the good advice that I have read here in this forum that I have finally decided go down the 18" route rather than going for 19" Maxxis (so my thanks to all that have contributed opinions). I have also decided that Bridgestone D697 265/60R18's would suit my needs. However, I do have a few remaining questions that I hope the forum members can help me with.

Given that I am based in Perth, can anyone recommend a good place to purchase six of these D697 265/60R18's from?

I would also be grateful for any recommendations of reliable places to have them fitted and balanced.

Am I correct in thinking that there is only one type of "D697 265/60R18" tyre and that if I order them, they will definitely be LT? Some websites don't specify this.

Lastly is $405 per tyre a good price including fitting with $100 off per four purchased. Many thanks. Peter

If you want a day out in the South West.Ring South West Tyres in Busselton for a price.We get them to do all our truck and earthmoving tyres,they travel to us.They are very good on their pricing.Tell them you have a mate in Williams that steers a grader that told you they do good prices.Worth a call

Purchased 6 months ago. Payed $325 per tyre fitted and balanced (for 5) from Bridgestone Select Tyre... they price matched after a limited phone around... but not in Perth.

1. No as I am in Darwin

2. See 1

3. Yes as far as I know and that is all I asked for

4. They are $450 each fitted and balanced in Darwin and Broome

Darwin and Perth "tax" is pretty steep
