Bridgestone Tyre Centre in both Upper Hutt & Torrens Terrace Wellington (I myself just realised they were the same outfit, yet different quotes?). That was for the P Zero Run flats which I was originally thinking of getting. I'm pretty sure you can't get the Pirelli All Season Plus in NZ and I'm guessing if they could order from overseas you'd lose another arm and leg.

Try hyperdrive.co.nz - they have reasonable pricing and it's all online. They ship to a local installer and charge a $12/per tire installation fee. Well it's about $12 anyway. I've found that the chain tire stores (bridgestone, tony's, and beurepairs) seem to make up a price based on what they think they can get away with and I always feel ripped off. Smaller mechanics tend to be a little better (especially the ones on this forum). As an example, one of my friends recently bought a single tire from tony's (I think). He then went to hyperdrive and would have saved $100 on that single tire (same brand etc). On saying that, I think your import will be less expensive than hyperdrive anyway!

qube 3570 Report post Posted July 30, 2018 Tony's do price matching so if you get a good quote from hyper you can go back to Tony's and they will price match or even beat it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted July 30, 2018 Was curious too see what the actual price difference is between hyperdrive and tirerack. 235/35/19 PS4S Tirerack $434 NZD Incl Gst + Shipping Hyper $475 NZD Incl Not worth the hassle in this case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It becomes more relevant and worthwhile when you need the bigger tyres or odd profiles I think such as 275/35/R20, as to buy new in NZ is circa $1,000. Hyperdrive has the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 is this size listed at $1,229.99 !! Even in the second-hand market, they're still asking for 100's of dollars for these kind of tyres. A couple of examples... CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT 2 275/35/20 X2 NEAR NEW 6.5 tread, asking $570 per tyre PIRELLI PZERO RFT 275/35/19 X2 4.5mm tread, asking $312 per tyre Seems a bit extraordinary to me.
