I just imported 4 x Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2s in 235/35/19

Sensationally good tyre, and arguably the best tyre in the wet.

Best quote I could get in Oz was $650 each, so I got them from tirerack at USD176/each. Including airfreight to your door works out at around AUD285 each, and add $20 each for local F&B.

I have the v103 on my R32

Done 15k inc happy laps x2 on them still look brand even though the wear rating isn't as high as the others.

Haven't had good years... better than stock continentals I think, but I got the car used so tyres were a bit tired.

But I think they have released a v105 now as successor.

Nearly all tyres with dimensions of 235/35 R19 will be quite challenged to produce a quiet ride.

Having said that, the Yokohama Advan db decibel (V551) or the Pirelli Cinturato P1 might create less rolling noise than others.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports - $349.00 at Tempe Tyres - they will ship.

I am running them in 245/3519 and 275/30/19 on AMG C63. Got a great try out in the wet yesterday - sensational.

I have bought from Tirerack but with the A$ down and the import charges when you hit the magic $1,000.00, the cost from Tempe was as good or better. Lots of other choices at Tempe if the PSS are not for you.

I can do Goodyear F1 Asym 2's for $270 a tyre + $80 freight to Brisbane for the set. (Or.. $1020 for a set...)

It's coming from the official Goodyear channel too ofcourse with full warranty! So it's not parallels rubbish.

after doing some online research and talking to people who have them i have decided to go with the Yokohama Advan db decibel (V551).
i think these will be good but time will tell.thanks everyone for your suggestions.
cheers

Self serving rubbish.

The Michelin PSS for example are made in France and are all imported. My grey import PSS via Tempe were fresh new production. Sure you have to check out what you are being offered and ensure it it is not old stock/been sitting in a container for 12 months but there was no way I going to pay the extortionate official Michelin Australia price.

That said, your price on the Goodyears is very very good.

I've been buying from Tempe Tyres for years & never had an issue. As the retailer they have to warrant their product anyway.

I do know a bit about tyres & am a product of the old Goodyear Tyre & Brake Service system. John Sink was my first manager - if you know the retail tyre sales industry you'll know John.

Rubals, I dips me lid to you for creating some competition with Tempe & tyre retailers with a similar business model but it's poor form to rubbish them like that. Let your prices & service speak for you.
