  • Simple Tyre Question - RS Wagon

    I'm about to place an order for a set of Goodyear Assym 2's from Tirerack. Just wanted to double check that on the 2008 vRS the tyre specs were the same as the new ones. 225 40 r18 92Y

    I've had a quick search and can't seem to find the info readily but I may be blind and missed something obvious.

    Did you look at the tyre placard on the car Under the fuel cap or on one of the pillars.

      I would but I don't own it yet! Hence asking stupid questions. Picking it up in another state on Friday.

              Can you still get those from TireRack, I thought the manufacturers had stopped letting them ship to here anymore?

                Goodyear was always OK i think. I believe some of the other brands such a Michelin let you do it again now but only for a max of 4 tyres.

                  Let us know how you go with delivery, etc. I got a quote from them late last year for the same tyre. I think it was around $1100 delivered (maybe a little less). Goodyear was about one of the only brands they still delivered to Australia.

                    That's what I got quoted. When I bought a set for my R32 about a year ago it was about $100AUD cheaper.

                      Thanks for that. At the time I spoke to Goodyear and they said they didn't have any in stock anywhere in Australia. I didn't get a price from them, though I dare say it would have been quite a lot more than tyrerack.

                          You can easily set up a third party shipping account where the US company dispatches to a US address who in forward the item(s) to you. They only cost a few dollars a month to maintain and it gets around the restrictions on sales outside the USA.
