Where to get tyres cheap in Brisbane

[missjody9]

eBay has a tyre sale on. 235/40/18 kumho ku36 tyres for $200 each free postage to nearly everywhere. They are located in Sydney. No idea about tyres but thought I would share.

Item number 180715964234


Sent from somewhere in this big wide world....

Here's the breakdown on the DOT tyre manufacture and date codes. Tyres made before 2000 use 3 numbers and tyres made since 2000 have 4 numbers. If your tyre does not have this style of code it is either non-DOT approved or too old in which case it is unsafe to use.

The tyre shown here will be a Kumho KU31 Ectsa SPT. DOT H2WP YC9J 0811

DOT = Tyre meets DOT safety standard.
H2 = DOT's tyre plant code
WP = Tyre size code
YC9J = Manufacturer symbol identifying tire brand
0811 = Week and year tyre was made - 08th week of the year 2011

For a list of tyre manufacturer's locations:-
Tire Codes JB-N0

For the record, the tyre above was purchased from Tempe Tyres (which many have parrallel imports warnings all over them from conspiracy theorists), or (old tyres warnings etc). But as you can see, they are built in Korea and are only 32 weeks old.

My Kumho KU36s have a manufacture plant code of Y0 = Korea.

Hope you find this useful...

Huge difference in prices, you sure they weren't quoting for PZeros and not PZNeros? The top PZeros would be worth $200 more since the are designed as a sport tyre, and the Neros are backwards designed to become a better street tyre.

Have been long term customer at both Local suppliers , previous purchased PZero Nero so they understood request. Largest supplier first quoted $500.00ea until i shouted ,then got owner who recognized me and then altered price to $345.00 ea (Lost all my business now ) Greedy pricks!!!!.
In order of dearest Retail price (1) P Zero rosso, (2) P Zero nero (3) P Zero.

Action tyres ,cost me a quick drive to Southport ,approx $40.00 in Fuel, gave the car a good run, and saved minimum of $91.00 per tyre ($364.00) in total. Great

Manufacture date 11th month 2011 Build plant Romania.

That's quite fresh rubber. Feel the difference?

So Rossos are slightly better than Neros?
I was trying to get someone to do a similar price on Neros down here (Sydney) but have got the Rossos for $275 each.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

Good heads up Brad!!! Had wheel alignment done by the guy who does the Porsche Cup cars , did some slight adjustments ,but really need adjustable camber arms . Over 2 deg camber at rear.
Nero,s feel better than Oem Dunlops and the nero,s are way quieter . Looks like im ordering Megane Racing forged adj arms now.

Rosso,s are softer compound . dont expect great mileage from them. Rosso,s rated at from memory 120 tread wear nero,s rated at 200. race tyres vary from 40 to 80 ,but dont quote me .
