who used http://www.tirerack.com/ ? how much was shipping? what did you buy ect ect.

with the US as weak as a 2 year old, perfect time to buy stuff from America. Unlike australia their tyre prices are actually reasonable :D

so yeh, i wish to get a set of tyres from tirerack just wondering if its worth all the trouble.

how do i pay in US dollars?

will i have to buy them from some random site or can comm bank transfer it over for me?

tire-rack, told me they only accept wire transfer from AUS.

Just go into your bank and ask to do a wire transfer (tire-rack will give you all the details), it cost me something like $30 to do a wire-transfer at my bank

Hey john i cant seem to find Potenza RE001's on their list are they called somethign else over in the U.S? :S. Have KU36's on atm and imo they suck

Think they have been superceded by the RE-11?

i was told i need to pay in USD though.

Pretty sure the bank can do the conversion for you.

E.g. you tell them you want to transfer $1000USD , they charge you this + extra for the difference.

Re001 are not sold in the US.

however just go the RE11 as they are better and are the new top model for potenza

i was told i need to pay in USD though.

Just tell your bank you need it to be in US dollar and they sort it out

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
