    It cost me $160, I supplied the part which was $80 brand new, $80 for installation. Some mechanics won't fit them for their excuse is I don't have the right tools.

        Wife got a sidewall puncture in the contis on her Tig today so had to replace the tyre. Turns out there's no contis in aus (in the Tig size) for 6 weeks so had to whack a Pirelli on. Tyre place said they can only put it on the rear as it's illegal to have two different tyres on the front. First I'd heard of this. Is this true?

          Not in NSW - QLD may be different.

          The only rule is you can't mix sizes or construction types.

          Mix of brands / tread patterns isn't good practice but I doubt it's law.

          What does the QLD RMS equivalent say on their website?

            The tyre place I went to said that you can mix and match brand but they need to be in the same axle to be legal.
