Yokohama S-Drives 215/45/17
Tire rack $472 + $88 (fitting @ BJ's) + $350ish (estimation as per Impresiv's post) = $910.
Wheels world $264 x 4 = $1056.

Is the trouble really worth the saving?
After reading the good feedback given to tirerack im still not convinced that it's the way to go. Am I missing something here?

For some tyres yes, when I bought my 31" BFG muddies for my sierra no tyre shop in Perth could ever come close to it...
Same with my dads 100 series Landwhale when I got 33" tyres for him.

John at WW wants $525 per corner for a total cost of Aus $2100
Rudy at Tire Rack wants US$189 per corner plus $350 for delivery to my door for total of approx Aus $1170.

My tyres should arrive from the USA next week.
The update to this order was tyres took one week to arrive and cost me Aus$1173 delivered to my door. Freight costs were not considered so no duty or gst was applicable.

Any recommendations of who to contact at Tire Rack?
Just had a look at the contact emails, and there is bloody heaps of them!

Looking to get either some AD08s or RE-11s in 205/50/16 or 205/45/16

clint@tirerack.com or rudy@tirerack.com
Got back to my email within 2days..Clint gave an exact shipping costs so you may want to try him first.
rough idea, 4x 255 ad08's were 272USD for shipping.
