• Definitely shop around if you can as you can get huge variation in prices.

    Avoid anything like winrun, good ride etc. Will be cheap, but bad.

    Something like a continental premium contact 2 would be good.

    Or Michelin primacy. Yokohama is normally good and so are pirelli and even hankook.

    I wouldn't spend more than $130 per tyre including fitting and get an alignment too. Normally $60 when fitting tyres.

    I also wouldn't spend less than $90 a tyre either.

  • I was all set to go to Bob Jane until someone I work with reminded me about the Bridgestone place that recently opened up down the road... Gave them a ring and they've got a 'buy three get one free deal', so $360 for a set of top of the range touring tyres and $50 for the alignment, $200 cheaper than Bob Jane and they're right by the water so we can drop the car off, cross the street and walk along the waterfront to our favourite smoothie place, saunter back and the new boots will be on!

    I need to get our window tints replaced now, been quoted $600 to remove the old and replace with bog standard... Not cheap... Maybe I'll spend the weekend getting rid of the old stuff myself and save a couple of hundred bucks...

  • Top deal, I always forget about Bridgestone 4 for 3 deals. The car will feel so much better. But do check pressures after fitting... Unless the fitters are unusually good they'll put 40psi in some and 25 in the others. As we know, tyre pressures are critical...

  • Hot air gun or hairdryer will help massively
