  • Problem with tyre replacement

    Having a tyre replaced on my 08 R32 and according to Kmart Auto they don't have that model Dunlop tyre and will have to fit the new Dunlop tyre. From a performance standpoint I don't think it will be an issue, but I'm concerned it may look odd. Do you think it will look strange? And are they talking porkies about availability?

    You could check the Dunlop web site for the current range, and you could ring Dunlop to see if they have an odd one of your model in one of their locations.

      you could also try importing one from www.tirerack.com

      will probably cost less than buying locally as well

            Why on earth would you take your car to KMart Auto to get a tyre replaced? I really hope you don't come back and say that you get the car serviced there!

            There are plenty of specialists around that actually know what they're doing and can access tyres at a good price.
