Hi Guys

Just shopping around for Tyres for the 200 series Landcruiser and Camper in Sydney

Size 285/70/17 BFG All Terrains

Price at Bob Jane at Hornsby for 4 tyres, fitted and Balanced $460.00 each
Price at ST George tyre service at Arncliffe $380 each, fitted and balanced and delivered

Tried the Local tyre power store in Dural, answer 4 weeks ago, Boss is busy, he will ring you back within the hour, burnt down two days ago, Ummm

All tyres brand new and asked for rims as well, which is why St george price is delivered,price was for tyres only,

Pays to shop around

Cheers

thats extremely cheap compared to some of the 16inch prices I got.

You should look at tirerack.com - well worth it.

Slighty off topic for a sec................

What a bugger about the fire, I have always used 4sport for all my servicing and repairs.  :'( :'( :'(
Hope they get back on track real soon.

Now back to the topic............
I live in the hills and always use Tyre King on Windsor road in Baulkham Hills.
They have always given me a good price.
I did go elsewhere once for a better deal and ended up with some shonky knock off BFG's.............Not happy but thats anothr thread.....

It certainly is worth shopping around,  but sometime the best price is not your best answer.....

I got a quote at the Windsor place he was the cheapest on 285/70/17, but didn't have any in stock. I ended up getting them from dobsons in parra (I think that was the name) for 389 a tyre fitted. And he had them in stock.

A 17" tyre at that price? Even 16" tyres are hard to get that cheaply.

I rang him, 16" was mid three hundreds, but 17" in AT or KM2 was over $450, and he told me that all the 17" tyres were within $10 or $20. Nice bloke on the phone.

265x75x16 in Bundaberg, I paid 4 months ago 380 each fitted BF AT's, Due to the mining boom in and around smallish towns for interest sakes I got a quote in Moura same tyres fitted and balanced were 450 each I was told that that was the price due to transportation costs. I can't help but wonder if the price was based on the line up of 8 mines vehicles waiting to have tyres fitted. Definitely worth shopping around in Country Queensland and only getting quotes on the coast.  :cheers:

I just got a quote for 215 70 R16 Yokohama Geolander AT-S for our 99 Rav4 at a price of $255 fitted and balnaced. I know they are no BFG AT but at that price I think they will are a clear  winner ....

265s are much cheaper than 285. Still you're getting a good price.
16s are much cheaper than 17s  >:D.

17's usually appear $100ea more than 16's. which are usually 50-100 more than 15s.

I got my (4) BFG A/T 265/65/17 with the free Bushranger Air Max compressor deal @ $320 ea from Bob Jane. I would expect that the 285's would be a lot dearer.
