Tyres

[All Smiles]

Hey guys, I'm trying to hunt down A tyre of my car.

I unfortunately have 3 screws in my tyre and it can't be repaired. So i have started to hunt down the original tyres. From what i gather it is a Dunlop SP Sport 2050 225/40r18 88y But no luck finding a it on the dunlop site let alone a stockist.

Any ideas to where i can get it, last case scenario is that i have to replace 2 tyres, but i'm not to keen on that because its only 7000kms old.

HELP

Let your fingers do the walking (Yellow Pages). Ring the majors (Jax, Beaurepaires, Bob Jane etc), they'll have them or be able to get one for you within a day.

Shopping for tyres on the net in Australia is a frustrating experience, you're better off just picking up the phone.

If you ring them and book in tomorrow morning before 10 you should have it by the next day.

Ring Ben at BOB JANE CHERMSIDE and tell him that Rino from OzMpsClub sent you for tyres tell him what you want and let him know that you have a price and was going to buy them somewhere else he may match them or beat the price.... Your not that far away from chermside..

+1 Rino

I was just about to recommend the same guy, Ben has always told me he can source any tyre you need.

Hi
I am lucky enough (not) to be looking for 4 replacement tyres after 38,000kms.
I have been advised to fit Yokahama C Drive 225 40R 92W at $368 per tyre.
Any alternatives I should consider? Any comments on price?
I am in Melb so the contact at Chermside wont help?

I wouldn't go anywhere near Bob Jane's - they do not back up their claims - they do not even do what their head offices promises faithfully to have done over and over again. They promised they would have some-one contact me - never happened.
In the end was the Department of Fair Trading that responded to my complaint after they contacted Bob Jane's - I still haven't heard from the company.

Absolute untrustworthy tyre dealer.

Was a fairly regular customer - not any more

I got quoted from Mazda and a few other tyre places RRP $675/Tyre for the Dunlop Sp Sport 2050, Apparently they haven't been released yet, I ended up gettin 2 new Kumo tyres.

Now whilst i had the new tyres replaced for the rears my husband and the tyre fitter noticed that the front tyres were prematurely wearing, it is worn out on the inside of both front tyres, I'm, for the most part a conserative driver so I'm trying to figure out what is going on and why my tyres are wearing out, after all its done about 6500kms

Any ideas guys?


BTW I don't mind Bob Jane because my brother in law used to work at BJ's in Macgregor.

All Smiles: Bob Jane store can put Nitro into the tyres, I have done that with all of my female friends because they never checked their tyre pressure everyweek with nitro you do it 2 to 3 times a year drive to bob jane and they check it if it needs top up it's free, of course you need to rotate them every 5000k's or everytime you hit a thumping pot hole or gutter ...
I would get them to do an alignment i would say to see if it's out
