Bigmor 4 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Not sure if they have your size, but my tire guy from fire stone would of got me a set for $1500. Special order from the NZ importers. Could be worth asking, he was cheaper than Beaurepaires Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1560 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 $1500 for all four? Sounds to good to be true. Usually around $1500 for a pair of 18s. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigmor 4 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Guys, I just went into Firestone and got a quote (18inch wheels). It may have been a bit more, but they had a 4 for three on etc. I actually went for s0001 for around 900 and they performing brilliantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haitoman 110 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 I went the 19 inch RE050A (High Load) stock sizes front and back for just under $2000. Can't fault them wet and dry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah anyways ... tirerack.com still have PSS super sports for $347 USD + tax + shipping each so looking just over 1k landed... not too bad for 20s. Will be here in 3-4 days. Then around 20 per wheel to fit. Will be new rubber, not new old stock. actually just banged in the full set.. $2400 NZD inc shipping and tax by the last lot of tires I got off them. Still cheaper than 4k which is what tire shops hear will want for them. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Definitely recommend getting expensive tyres 'Roadforce' balanced. BMworkshop in Grey Lynn have the machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, ya pity they don't have the size i require in stock Looks like I am waiting till they're back in stock What would the duty be?

Apex 693 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Shipping is reasonable I thought. Can someone tell me what the GST threshold is? Have always thought you could make a saving if you placed say two orders separately, i.e. two tyres at a time. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 They are really good, have purchased a few sets. Some have arrived in less than a working week.. Look out for what they have on special also, have seen some killer deals over the years, I once got a set for around quarter the local cost. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 Shipping is reasonable I thought. Can someone tell me what the GST threshold is? Have always thought you could make a saving if you placed say two orders separately, i.e. two tyres at a time. Thoughts? GST threshold at the moment is $400NZD _including_ shipping. Anything above that take the total NZD (incl shipping) and x 1.15 = your amount incl GST. That doesnt account for customs handling fees, but thats why you use a non third world carrier like DHL or FedEX as they have customs agents in NZ landing depots. Instead of paying NZ customs for tax on top of tax mis 'handling fees' . even so .. all of this for top end tires is exponetionally cheaper than the importers here. Which seems to be the case with a lot of importers these days. I love it when you can just go-around these days. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
