Hi All,
Are there any recommendations for who can fit, balance and align at a good price in Vic South East?
I'm looking at importing some rubber from TireRack soon.
Thanks,
Tim.

I'm interested too
I used to go to TyrePower on Blackburn road for nearly 12 years
After buying my Pirellis from them they couldn't align my wheels correctly an let me down. The dealership ended fixing their errors

Hi Slixx, do you need a set now or just interested for future needs?
I've got 2 sets I need soonish, one for the wife's car and one for the BMW so I can sell it.. if they get those right I'll trust them with the MPS
T.
I'm probably gonna need a set of 4 in about 3-4months
Have been emailing Alex from tire rack so I'll be ordering after July probably

Ok cool. What sort of prices are they quoting for delivery to Vic?
keep in mind they'll charge you to strip your current tyres, charge an environmental disposal charge, and then charge to fit and balance your new tyres - and although you probably already expect that, I got caught out when i bought tyres off ebay and it cost me nearly $100 to get them on the rims!! burnt!!
so just factor that into your purchase prices.
Thanks SMOKEY - I had budgeted;
$20 per corner to fit
$75 balance & align
Have I over-cooked that??
that should be fine...depending on how much they charge for an alignment - my place charges $30.
Pete,
Did you have any issues with telling them to ship to Australia? or is it the Michelins that tirerack no longer ship to Australia?
I believe it is just Michelins
I'm getting the same as Ive got now Pirelli PZero Rosso
Alex said that he still could do Michelins, but you will need a drop shipper. They offer free shipping in the US, so the drop shipper would have to provide a quote for shipping
Even with the greenback, shipping, fitting and alignment, I'm saving over $550

Tempe tyres strip, fit and balance 4 tyres for $60. I get my mechanic to do wheel alignments for me.
On that note - Tempe do very good prices on Pirelli - I sold a set of bare wheels to a guy who had new 19" Pirelli rubber delivered for under $700 - I swore they must have been fake but I saw them with my own eyes and they looked legit.
Hi All,
Tyrerack quoted $941.39 tyres only delivered (I assume that's USD..close enough) for the wifes car - 225/45/R17 Pzero Rosso, BJ's at fountain gate quoted $1100 fitted, balanced and aligned... hardly worth the import thus far..
Cheers
Good price
Wonder how much for the 225/40/18 sizing
Just got my first Aus quote tonite
AU$580.00 each
Don't think Australians know the mening of buying Tyres online to save money. What a rip off!!! Tirerack looking better and better they want $1080.00 delivered

That beggars belief - we get reamed as consumers in australia.
And to send something THAT bulky too.....and it is still cheaper.
Almost makes me want to go wear mine down so I can get on this before they slam the door completely.
Another quote this time from Bob Jane... What a deal....NOT!!
Still gonna get them from tirerack. Saving over AU$100.00 per tyre
Pirelli PZero Rosso. We have this available in your size 225/40/18r. These tyres normally retail at $419.00, however we are able to provide them to you at the special online price of $390.00 each which includes fitting, standard wheel balance, tubeless valves and tyre disposal.
This may also be of interest to you - we also have the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 in your size that usually retails for $579.00. We can offer them to you at the special online price of $465.00 each which includes fitting, standard wheel balance, tubeless valves and tyre disposal.

I had a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3's just put on by TyrePlus in Surrey Hills (411 Canterbury Rd)
I didn't shop around too much because I frankly didn't have the time, but I'm not unhappy with the $249 per tyre I paid, inc fitting/balancing
I also had a wheel alignment done - $55
Because I swapped rims too I had them take the old rubber off the OEM wheels and dispose of those before boxing up the rims to give back to me - $8 tyre disposal
Overall experience was they were a little slow with the install (they were short staffed apparently), however when I asked that they be very careful with the rims, they were. I was watching them the whole time like a hawk and I was very pleased with the way they treated my car + wheels + tyres at all stages
If you call them, speak with Sandy. She's a little difficult to understand over the phone, but she's pretty good to deal with.

Yeah not sure mate. I don't think so.
Was more thinking if people bought a set of tyres from elsewhere and needed somewhere that took reasonable care to fit them
Fair enough
I might hit them up once I import mine in from the US
