Federal Tyre Dealer In Brisbane?

[HackerX]

I'm looking to grab a set of Federal 595SS (235x40x18) from somewhere northside.

Anyone know places that sell (and preferably fit) them?

I've heard that Mercury Motorsports does very good prices on Federals?

[Traditimeour]

Frank and Jeff tyres out at ipswich do them at good prices too.

We used to get ours through Neta, but last time we wanted some he advised us that he no longer sells to public. He did however tell us that he supplied to JAXQuickfit at Yeerongpilly and so we got them supplied and fitted through them. So yeh just give Neta a call, the guy is heaps friendly and once you've formed a bit of a relationship with him he'll give you some good deals

Neta are great always had good dealings with them but now I get mine from JAX Quickfit at slacks creek awesome guys down there too

Thanks, I was going to ring NETA before I wrote this topic, still haven't gotten round to it yet. Was just wondering if people had gone to a particular shop which stocked them.

I might find out the closest JAX Quickfit and see if they can do them

mercury were cheaper then quickfit when i was getting quotes for mine about a month ago

mercury can get excellent prices on federals.

Another vote for MERCURY MOTORSPORTS best prices i know of!

[IanB]

Good prices on tyres yes, tho I wouldnt jump over the moon about them on other matters. There a drift workshop, and come with all the inherent flaws of a drift workshop. But all workshops have good and bad stories, this isnt the place or the time to get into them.

[HackerX]

I'm booked into a one of the quickfix's around here. With the price being $198 a tyre (when I was expecting to have to pay at least $250 a tyre), it just came down to the fact that Mercury is further away to drive.

Would Mercury have ended up cheaper for me overall? Probably, but for that price I really couldn't be bothered

[IanB]

what size are you after? they quoted me $110 a tyre for 235/45/17 when I was there last, but I wanted 245/45/17 which I paid $180 for.

[HackerX]

See the top post 235/40/18

[IanB]

ahh 18, sorry I thought I read 17.

Anyway, good luck with your purchase. Tyre price is why I would never go 18's, 17's are bad enough...

Argh :S. Whoever previously put these wheels on managed to cross thread two of the nuts on one of the wheels. So now I have to find two wheel studs and nuts to replace the ones that had to be cracked off to get the wheel off. Hopefully I can just go down to somewhere like Repco and pick them up. Anyone got an idea of part number/size?

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah i got a set of wheel studs from repco

was about 3 years ago cost about $4 each

[halomansion]

i am also needing to update my 595 federals.............they are inexpensive....

I lied, they're still $4. Part number NS457 for anybody who's interested (since they don't have R34's in the catalog)

The federals replaced a set of Nexen N3000. As for rating, well, they lasted a long while, I suppose that's worth something... From what I could tell, the federals are considered a decent tyre for the price.
