You can also 'buy' a friend via proxy services like http://www.Celga.com
I've used them for years for buying stuff from Yahoo Japan auctions and the Rakuten online shops.
You email them the URL of the stuff you want and paypal them a 50% deposit, they purchase it get it shipped to their office in Japan then forward to you and charge $10 per 10000 yen for the service. They send it EMS to you in 3 days or so and will mark as Gift etc. anything you like.
As an example a pair of them there tires would cost
8200 yen @ 100 yen= $1 (includes Paypal fees) = $82
Domestic shipping in Japan say $8
Celga fee $10
Shipping EMS to UK up to 750g $22
Total $122 = approx £63
