Tyres on the Central Coast/Sydney

[Guest]

Hi guys, My father in law is driving to Townsville to see us for christmas and needs a new set of tyres for his Audi TT before he leaves. Does anyone have any connections or recommendations on where to get get good tyres at the best price?
He lives in Gosford but can travel to Sydney if it means getting better tyres at a better price than he can get locally.
Tyre Specs are 225/40/18, he doesn't need ultra high performance, just somewhere between log lasting economy tyres and performance tyres.

Hopefully someone can help us out, thanks guys.

Tempe Tyres are pretty good on price, they will beat any other quote. You might be able to get Tempes' price and take it to a local tyre place.

If it's too far away...I have had good prices from Jax Tyres @ Gosford.

I think it would be safe to say that any discount in price between Sydney and Gosford, would be consumed by the general cost of driving back and forth (close to a 100km round trip) of both petrol and your own time.

Jax Tyres seem to be relatively good from past comments. I'd just stay clear of the budget commercial ones like Kmart tyres etc.

Yeah buy ue frequently travels to sydney anyway so it may have been possible to jazz something up.
Luckily it seems most shops have good deals on anyway so Jax or Bob Jane will most likely be the way to go.

Sorry. But he drives an Audi tt and is worried about and extra $40>50 on tyres. He needs a Getz

Why pay $1000-$1250 for 4 tyres when someone might be able to point you in the right direction to get the same tyres for $700?
$50+ a tyres starts to add up real quick.

Sorry if that sounded combatative trotty, not my intention at all.
Have seen people save $200/$300 on a set of tyres by shopping at the right place or having a hook up at a tyre place.

Nah no offence taken. I know there can be good deals to be had. But like said why travel the world to save a few bucks. I just saw Audi tt and thought cheapskate. Lol hope I didn't offend u. I can't say much ATM as I'm running Achilles atr sports at $89 per corner. Lol. Wasn't gunna spend big money when I'm looking at bigger rims. They were just to get me by. Then on the other hand I have gsd3 good years on my wife's car at $250 per corner.

All good mate. Just included Sydney as he has to make 2-3 trips there this week before he leaves on Friday to take car of some family commitments, why not kill 2 birds with one stone.
Hey If I could spend $50 in fuel and 3 hours of my time to drive somewhere and save $200+ I would do it (time permitting of course)
I'm looking for new tyres for the Evo and it's not looking pretty for my wallet

TyreRight in Parramatta. My next door neighbour is the Assistant Manager. Will do you a good deal.

So if someone drives a cheap car and wanted to save some money thats ok but if you have to have a bigger wallet or drive a better car than its cheapskate if you want to save a few bucks??? My point is it dosent matter what kinda car you drive, if you can save money then you should.

Not to mention the Quattro's are extremely hard on their tyres so you replace them a lot more often.
25-30k kms out of a set of $350 tyres, starts to add up over the year/years.

In other news I spoke to Jax who are doing a deal on pirellis (can't remember the model) its a higher up tyre competing in the $300+ bracket.
$189 each fitted and balanced
Still on the look out but that will be hard to beat.

I went to a tyre place near The Entrance for some new shoes for the old Grandpa & got a fairly decent price.

Give me a moment as I'm still working & I'll google it up.

New shoes being Bridgestone Potenzas.

 

[king_panther]

I've been to this Bridgestone centre at Long Jetty;

Got some Bridgestone Potenzas there & had no dramas.

Have also been to Jax Tyres at West Gosford to get some BF Goodrich tyres & had no dramas there either, so take your pick dude;

Have heard these guys are cheap...

[Guest]

I've bought ku31's from them via the interwebs and also Taleb Tyres as well, both exceptionally well priced for a set of 4 delivered to my door.

That links broken, I guess this is the place.. http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/

Holy crap, they seem very competitive indeed. Cheaper than Tempe Tryes for all three of the different tyre treads I'm tossing up between, and way cheaper for 14" tyres for the girlfriends Getz. Cheers for the link
