Buying tires in the Illawara?

[sbrownGTI]

I am looking around the Wollongong area for some tires. I am new to the Polo, and Australia as a matter of fact, and I am wondering if these prices are reasonable.

CC2's 278/corner

Potenza RE001 231/corner

Preceda PP2 265/corner

g-Force Sport 252/corner


Seems high, but maybe just an import issue? Any advice on a reputable place that I can find them cheaper?

My 2006 GTI will stay stock and is only used on the street, if anyone has any better tire options please let me know.

G'day,

I'm a bit further down South than Wollongong in Nowra.
I got my tyres/rims at Tempe Tyres

When I was looking no-one was competitive in the area and the cheapest place I found was them. About an hour drive for you, nearly 1:45hr for me but the price difference was worth it.

If you're looking to buy in the area and don't want to travel, Jax tyres I think are pretty reasonable. They're in Warilla.

Not sure about individual pricing on those tyres you listed.

What's a G-Force Sport?

Try searching the forums - a few threads on tyres & prices.

What size is the Polo tyre?

Option1 garage in QLD are doing some great prices these days on Kumhos. Check this thread & give Emma an email for a recommendation, price, etc. Allow $20 a tyre for fitting & balancing somewhere local to you.

I would have thought there were heaps of discount tyre places around The Gong
