G'day Folks
Not an earth shattering Thread, but I need 2 x Dunlop SP Roadgripper S tyres for the Jayco. $205 ea from Jax, $280 ea at Beaurepaires but they would knock them down to $263 - then said they would match the Jax price if I got a written quote from Jax.
It does pay to
shop around, but . . . you can't get the same differential in BF Goodrich ATs unfortunately. Not in
Canberra anyway
Cheers
John

Try this www.tirerack.com & bring them in yourself save a few $'s may not be worth it for two tyres but when the 'tug' needs four new ones this is the way to go

Click on the contact info link, scroll down to email & select from the list of names - then email the sales manager. (Or just email bruce@tirerack.com)
You don't have to pay taxes/duties if your order (not including freight) is under $1000.
They deliver by FedEx to your door.

Just in passing... the $AU is almost back up to parity with the $US so you will be paying very close to the price on the website.
Usual disclaimer.... I have NO association with this website

why would anyone bother to get a written quote to take back to some knob to get the same deal
