part (A) tyre price increases.
just had a call today from head office(bridgestone)looks like next month all tyres(bridgestone) will be going up a fair bit 20% in some cases spoke to another suplier(hancook)same thing and hancook dealer said all imports going up heaps.
eg 265/75/16 694 lt today we do for around $250 next month around $300 thats a fair bit.
part(B)4wd tyre prices.
i remeber when i was in tyres around 6 yrs ago a set of 4wd tyres would cost around $1000 and people would say look after me im about to spend $1000 on 4 tyres.
today you can still get a set of 4wd tyres for around $1000.
believe it or not thats cheap.
had a guy in a bmw ring up from
echuca wanting a set of tyres for his bmw ill come straight to
bendigo and get them fitted if you dont sell them .(no chance in hell we were going to sell them)drove straight down we fitted them up and didnt even ask a price done his bill $2600 he said i thought they would be about that much.
commodores now throwing in 18 inch wheels $2000 a set.
mazda 6 $1600 commodore 19inch $3000 and the list goes on i cant believe how dear they are now.
4wd tyres now seem to be very cheap.
cheers and buy your tyres next week
