Depends on your budget and what you're after. As said, Option 1 will give closest to the best (if not the best) deal for Kuhmo and Federals locally. But if you want something like the Bridgestones/Michelin etc, try importing from Tirerack in the states. I got a set of Michelin PS2 there for the price of the Federal RSR locally.

Heeeeyyyy any one able to put my new tyres on rims for a good price around the coast south brissy area :)

Just check to ensure your wheel nuts are put on tight I got new tyres and all the bolts were barely hand tight

I had the opposite issue, had i got a flat i'd hvae been boned.

Well, maybe. The thickness of the sidewall on the RSR's makes me wonder if i'd just be able to use it as a run flat :yucky:

That's fairly common from tyre shops - they just smash them on with a rattle gun :(.

It's not recommended. They roll OK but it ruins the tyre, and they aren't cheap...

Have heard it happen a few times (once was a mates diff and they didn't put the main bolts that hold it to the car back in so just banged around) just check them before you leave and should all be sweet. Good pricing though.

I had the same experience with option1 garage...got 4 new tyres as price on federals was good but noticed a strange rattling sound on the way home. Turns out that on the drivers side front I had a bolt flying around held in only by the plastic stock centre cap...another bolt was loose, half on...drivers back tyre was the same, a bolt totally off and others loose.

WTF? Scared me as I was about to go on a trip up the SC...Planned to have other stuff done but haven't gone back since because of the workmanship (or lack thereof).

    • You now say stumble, but you said cut out before. Will it slow rev through the cut/stumble? What gap were your spark plugs set to when you them in?
    • I had double clamped all the pipes but I checked them over any way, everything tight and secure. feels and sounds like a electrical short/failure, as it is an abrupt and aggressive stumble, that instantly comes and goes right at 4k mark...like clock work fuel pump and filter are new new coils and plugs injectors where cleaned and tested 200 miles plus ago no black smoke cleaned MAF   same results, other ideas? some other sensor?  
    • Yes, just without the annoying use of the word hybrid. We stopped using that term 20 years ago when we realised it meant different things to different people. Even "highflow" can represent more than one way of achieving the goal of getting more flow out of a turbo. But at least it says what it does on the box.
    • OH, when they say "solid buckets", I always interpeted that as "shimless". (Which is not the same as the "shimness word I invented above to represent the same idea that the buckets act as shims also!!). Still the same problem though. So it appears that buying a "kit" from Tomei is a two step process. Makes sense. Doesn't make sense in the context of a "kit" though.
