dont hold you breath
they have a bunch of cheep sheet
i asked went and asked for enkei wheels the woman had NO clue what i wanted i said it like 4 times and tried to pronounce it differently even to no avail

[ruff neck chicken]

sigh* and i really didnt mind paying the price for the pirelli

the funny thing is i called approx 15 tire shops and the attitude was poor far less for the information in all of them.

so back to the drawing board, 215/35/18 anywhere?

650 for a 13 inch?...

where is this SHOPBOY located xfactor?

[X_Factor]

not sure, i think its claxton bay
he is a powerseller, check the auto parts forum

yupp 650 for a 13" tire, the cheapest was 600....
but personally dont like that sp sport as its the same tire we are changing and both tires got bubbles on the sidewall and they are not older than 2yrs

[CD4Accord]

X_factor, those kumho we have in 13" on a AE101 corolla and they really not bad you know. Will last and last and last and will provide decent grip and comfort..
I think you should go for it..

Just put on some new 195-50-16 Kumho Solus tyres.

Got them at Kelly's Tire Service in Petit Bourg for $650 each. Free balancing from them was a waste of time. They only balanced the front two wheels and gave me some cock and bull story about only AWD and 4WD cars need to have all four wheels balanced. Car has a slight vibration at 80km/h and tomorrow I will be going to my normal alignment shop to get all four wheels balanced and aligned.

Tyres are quieter than the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 that I had on before. I will give an update after I put a couple thousand kilometres on them in varying conditions.

If you in South the HTRZ3 you can get at Moti's tyre shop on the Southern Main road.. near Vistabella.

Proxes you can get at Mileage Mack.

guys, i see toyota is selling and taking special orders for yokohama tyres, anyone check them out yet for prices?

[tourniquet]

to answer my above question, this quote was taken from the pickup trucks forum:

so I saw an ad on the front page of the Express newspaper recently that Toyota Trinidad Ltd are the authorized Yokohama agents locally

passed in yesterday to get some prices

the do not have any 265/70/16 tyres

only 255/70/16

$2475.00 each

and for a car,

205/50/17

$2700.00 each

that's right folks . . . those are the prices per Tyre

currently they are not fitting, just selling

so if yuh thought that BFG and Michelin were the choice tyres of the stush . . . well there is a new grade of stush in town

[cinco]

thats advan neovas dem sellin or wah?


question
can a person import their own tyres like just order from tirerack and bring through skybox?

considering the crap we overpay for here i was thinking best i overpay for good tyres

[Dave]

yes, I have imported over 30tyres already from various sellers

Got the HTR Z3 in that exact size at Tyre Clinic last year December. $850 if I recall correctly

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[ruff neck chicken]

i imported tires a few times via skybox (multiple) but it makes no sense importing low end to okish tires IMHO.

the price you pay in the end for those tires came up a little more than the local price. i guess it is because the price to ship a crap tire vs a good tire is the same.

brought in nitto invo's and it was totally worth it
