Thread: Comparison of Tyre selection for 19" and 20" rim

There is a set on Gumtree going for just under $5k with coopers

And they are in SA.

Makes my set of 6 with 2 brand new coopers and 4@10000k sound very cheap,I paid $1500

Yeah ambitious pricing at $500 more than new cost. GOE at $565 a rim and $349 a tire (Tempe), $4570 new.

He knows of the wait,I guess he thinks he can get his money back.
I would make a lower offer,see how you go.
There was a set 4 in WA with tyres went for $1800 a couple of weeks back.

Wait isn't too bad next shipment is due in mid April. Noted the tire fitted isn't on the GOE list of recommended guessing the rods are needed to make it fit without rubbing?

They are 275/55R18 - 32" and a smidgen.

275/65x18. Yes,just over 32".
Aaron 40 just put 285/55x20 tyres that have a very similar O/D.His fit OK,had to shift some wiring on the chassis to prevent rubbing,have to carry the spare deflated to fit under the vehicle.
