G'Day Guys,
Well I've finally made a long drawn out decision and am replacing the tyres with Cooper ST 265/75R16 10 ply.
The National Distributor and evey shop outlet I have called sell them at the RRP of $288 with some places being dearer.
Is there anywhere in the SW Sydney area that sell them cheaper than this.
Thanx
Shawn

Shawn ,

I just got exactly that tyre put on my 100 T/D last Friday at ARB Northside at Artarmon in Sydney . The price was as you quoted and I could not get a cheaper price either - and I tried all over .

I reckon if they knew how hard the 10 ply were to get on to the rims , they would charge an extra $30.00 a tyre . The guys at ARB were really working up a sweat and it would have taken them twice as long as ordinary A/T's .

Shawn,

If you are willing to go for a bit of a drive, give Rod from Spence's Tyre Service at Miranda a call (02) 9524 6144. I got my Cooper's there as have a few others. They are located at 526 Kingsway Miranda.

cheers,
Sam.

Hi Shawn,
Just bought replacement cooper s/t's yesterday. this time i went up to the 285's
got 5 tyres and a new white roh 16x 8 trak 2 for $1540. i think the wheel was $100 so 1440 for 5 tyres fitted and balanced. so that means i paid $288 for 285's doesn't it? Rod Spence at Miranda, and a top bloke as well. I bought my last set of 265's there and went to him for teh 10000 k rotates and checks. If you want to come in a little closer to town you can't go too wrong by using him.

As above try Spence's at Miranda. I was there just yesterday enquiring about 265/75/16 in ST's, Their price is $275 fitted and balanced.
Am still tossing up between the ST's and BFG's, the BFG's in the same tyre are only $238, other factor I only just discovered is the speed rating, the BFG's are S rated (180Km/h) the coopers only N rated which is 140Km/h, not that i'll be doing 140Km/h but may get close to it at times.
