i would belive that boost automotive would be just as competitive as anyone elce.

tyres may be cheap on the internet but when you add freight and fitting they work out similar.

the cost of getting tyres fitted anywhere is quite expensive nowerdays.

and yeah boost is good, I get my semis off him. Brad's a friggin legend.

If these were 10" all round , i would be mad not to grab them a that price, nice looking rims.

Will call in and see Brad next week and see what his pricing is like.

Got a price from some dude on the internet last week R888 19-30-265 @ $485each + postage + fitting

That puts me at about $2200 all up.

Getting tyres fitted isn't that expensive, well not here anyway. Costs me $40.00 to get a set of tyres fitted. Try Stukeys in Melb, they are pretty reasonable, but only do Dunlop & Nittos I think. Or Hawthorn tyrepower, thats where I get my semi's from.

any jo blow off the street should expect to pay anywere from 20-30 bux a tyre then if you add nitrogen. (which is recommended even in race tyres as it is far more stable and there is less pressure growth during a heat cycle.) thats anywhere from 5-10 per tyre its all of a sudden over 100 bux for some carry in tyres. its not heaps but its all money.

im with you thoe. getting a tyre store onside if you swap tyres a lot is a good thing.

Anyone here used tyrerack.com? I've heard a lot of good things about them (and they do post to aus) but don't know anyone directly who has used them. The handling and suspension section has a whole thread on them :)

if you're game to try them out give me a call and I might put an order in too :)

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
