Tirerack banned from sendig Yokohama's/Advans overseas

[Rorz de Puniet]

You won't regret buying AD08s, fucking great tyres

I might regret not being able to buy them though!

What size?

The FZ201's I get are generally about 12 weeks old from the factory.

I may have contacts into getting Yoko's from a wholesaler in the US

PM me a price on AD08's in 245/35R19?

Those shipping prices look pretty damn resonable. I don't have 8 weeks left in my current tyres though...

[BundyBeej]

Would you guys pay the extra & get the tyres you want? Or just find a comparable tyre from another brand at the same price?

Can't half tell you work in marketing with a question like that :p

[Guido]

Sam I'll find out.

I just got onto my contact, .. am getting him to get me some prices on the Yoko stuff. .. if he can get it, will do some deals for PF

Cheers mate. Interested in pricing on a 225.50.15 AO50 too if you're looking to do Yokies.

Is there a Yoko/Toyo cheaper alternative to the DZ03s?

haha, I was trying to work out whether they were dumb or smart. I would probably have my mind made up & pay for the tyre I wanted, but not sure if others are the same. If others are the same as me it's probably not a bad play...but in any event it's a short term strategy

So many companies at the moment are trying to restrict people from doing shit online, when they should be adapting & embracing it.

They're obviously not gonna be cheap being 19s, the fact you can buy a set of 22-inch Ling Longs for under a grand makes it hard for people to justify, but the fact the Chinese tyres are full of plastic, get what you pay for.

Fair enough.

Yeah, if shit like this keeps happening, it'll create a good opportunity for freight forwarding companies. But the cunts would probably find out and not ship to any freight forwarding company addresses.

[TonyJZX]

i can almost guarantee it'll cost in the vicinity of $150-$200 to ship *one* tyre from a forwarder

[nelsonian101]

Europe/UK is better/cheaper/faster than the US half the time anyway.

Which tyres shops in the UK/Europe are you referring to?

[rotorhead16]

demontweeks seem fairly reasonable when it comes to tyres

The guy thats bringing in my Camaro brings a container over every couple of weeks of all sorts of parts etc, .... if there is interest I can see if you can get stuff sent to his warehousing facility (Has one in Longbeach, and one in Texas) and then shipped over here in a container?

[perthdrivers.txt]

I have bought (or been quoted on) tyres from various places in the US and UK and nowhere has been even close to Tirerack on shipping costs.

eg
4x 18" tyres from Tirerack - $280 shipping
2x 17" tyres from Demontweeks - $215 shipping
4x 17" tyres from Discounttires via PriceUSA - $617 shipping...

Having said that, even from Tirerack freight charges can be a bit of a lottery
