Gee, you could save some money on a complete set for the tug and trailer. Shipping and fitting would eat into it a bit, still cheaper.

A friend has just bought some and they were delivered in 7 days from the USA. Not sure what brand but he saved approx $500 from buying in Australia.

A lot of the guys on in the D3/D4/RRS section of AULRO are buying their tyres from these guys, it's very hard to find 18" tyres at a good price here in Aust, haven't seen any bad reports from the guys, all seem very happy with there price and service so far.

Yep can vouch for their service and so long as you come in at under AUD$1000, no issues with Customs.

The 17" KM2s I got were US$264 at the time but they have gone up to $280 since - even with freight they are still a tad cheaper than local prices, and you can't get them locally anyway.

Go for it. No point having a free trade agreement with the US if we don't use it...

Used them twice and saved about $500 each time.  Only hassle was they don't do online transactions - I had to go into the bank and do a $40 wire transfer.  After payment clearing arrived within 5 days at my door.
