$265 quoted by Wheels World....

Might have to do the ring around if thats the case. I was only really wanting to spend $200 per tyre.

I recently did the shop around and found wheels world to be waaaaaaay more expensive than anyone else, at least in Osbourne Park. Check out Firestone (bridgestone) wide ovals, around $600 for a set with a wheel alignment and I am very happy with mine so far.

17 inch k104s are $185 at midland tyre wholesalers inc fitting and balancing.

they are cheap, give them a call

rang for a quote today for the k104
they no longer sell them as they have been superseeded by h422
i was asking for 16" sizing and that cost $170
so the 17" should be around $190-210 thereabouts

a lot quieter and apparently one of the quieter tyres around

I did a bit of a look about and the K102 Scott @ Sunguard got me for a good price. Will get them fitted tommorow.
