Does their price include fitting and balancing as do most tyre places.

Hey Footy
Try Tyre Guys in West Burleigh Road or Brians Auto Centre at Miami,
Attention no affiliation with the companies, allthough the little skirt is not to bad, lol lol.

Just a question guys.

tyres seem to go up and down in price like fuel. Is there any issues in buying a set and storing them for say 6 months until I need them?

I have seen the current affair show where 'old' tyres were being sold as newly manufactured ones but at the rate my BFG A/T's are wearing I am seriously looking at 'buy now, fit later' as an option.

I just can't seem to wear out the last 10%

My last quote 12 months ago for BFG's for the disco was $265 a corner. Now @ $330 a corner. In 12 months maybe $400??

So should I or shouldn't i??

Cool, Dry and dark.................Hmmmmmmmmm

Won't be storing them in NQ then.

Thanks for the advice

Craig

Yeah, know how you feel.

Have two tyres bald, ready to replace, and another two with about 10k left. The last two have about 30k left. Might have to pull the two half worn ones off the C/trailer if it keeps going like this.

Started looking about 2 months ago, were $205.00 each a year ago, now $260.00 each. Were $190.00 each three years ago.

If it is the oil price (used to make imitation rubber) waiting for tyre prices to come down.

With a global down turn you reckon they would be almost giving them away to get turnover.
