Hi Guys
Just shopping around for Tyres for the 200 series Landcruiser and Camper in Sydney
Size 285/70/17 BFG All Terrains
Price at Bob Jane at Hornsby for 4 tyres, fitted and Balanced $460.00 each
Price at ST George tyre service at Arncliffe $380 each, fitted and balanced and delivered
Tried the Local tyre power store in Dural, answer 4 weeks ago, Boss is busy, he will ring you back within the hour, burnt down two days ago, Ummm
All tyres brand new and asked for rims as well, which is why St george price is delivered,price was for tyres only,
Pays to shop around
Cheers

thats extremely cheap compared to some of the 16inch prices I got.
You should look at tirerack.com - well worth it.

Slighty off topic for a sec................
What a bugger about the fire, I have always used 4sport for all my servicing and repairs. :'( :'( :'(
Hope they get back on track real soon.
Now back to the topic............
I live in the hills and always use Tyre King on Windsor road in Baulkham Hills.
They have always given me a good price.
I did go elsewhere once for a better deal and ended up with some shonky knock off BFG's.............Not happy but thats anothr thread.....
It certainly is worth shopping around, but sometime the best price is not your best answer.....

buy 20 more then at that price!

I got a quote at the Windsor place he was the cheapest on 285/70/17, but didn't have any in stock. I ended up getting them from dobsons in parra (I think that was the name) for 389 a tyre fitted. And he had them in stock.

A 17" tyre at that price? Even 16" tyres are hard to get that cheaply.
I rang him, 16" was mid three hundreds, but 17" in AT or KM2 was over $450, and he told me that all the 17" tyres were within $10 or $20. Nice bloke on the phone.

265x75x16 in Bundaberg, I paid 4 months ago 380 each fitted BF AT's, Due to the mining boom in and around smallish towns for interest sakes I got a quote in Moura same tyres fitted and balanced were 450 each I was told that that was the price due to transportation costs. I can't help but wonder if the price was based on the line up of 8 mines vehicles waiting to have tyres fitted. Definitely worth shopping around in Country Queensland and only getting quotes on the coast. :cheers:

I'm getting four new BFG AT 265/70/17 for 355 through the lease company on monday. Was told they would be 380 each if I was buying. I am getting them from Jax tyres at Salamander bay.
-
I just got a quote for 215 70 R16 Yokohama Geolander AT-S for our 99 Rav4 at a price of $255 fitted and balnaced. I know they are no BFG AT but at that price I think they will are a clear winner ....
Cheers Chippy :D

Just Bought 4 x LT 265 75 16 BFG Rough terrains $255.00 each fitted and balanced and unlike some tyre places i rang you don't pay to dispose your old tyres

265s are much cheaper than 285. Still you're getting a good price.
16s are much cheaper than 17s >:D.

I got my (4) BFG A/T 265/65/17 with the free Bushranger Air Max compressor deal @ $320 ea from Bob Jane. I would expect that the 285's would be a lot dearer.

Mal you can have my old ones for free if you like although with a trip to the cape, two trips to central oz, a trip to the high country and about 70 000 k Of general use and abuse on them they are pretty much stuffed!

I'm up to 86,000km on my current set of BFG's so far. I'll hang on to a couple as spares for the CT.

its a shame that offroad comp tyres are cheaper than road going tyres... EG: Swampers etc.

Managed to score 5 BFG 285X75X16 muds off EBay for $229 that have about 25K each left on them.
Was at Tyre King a couple of days ago getting one put on a rim. Too scared to ask the current price for new ones.
Last time I paid for new one in Newman, WA about two years ago was $350 cash fitted. :D
