Cheap bridgestones ?????

Do any of the aussie members have a contact to get cheap bridgestone tyres?
I need a new rear for my track day in 3 weeks and hoping to pick up a new bt012 a bit cheaper

You can check the sponsors prices. NHFirefighter may be able to get it also.

Dude, change to the Pirelli Diablo's or Diablo Corser. Awesome tyre and you'll get more life out of that than the Bridgy. Trust me. Haha
How much is cheap?

I might look at changing brands when I have to replace the front at near the same time as I have to replace the rear, but at the momment I will stick to the bridgy so i have a matching set.

I have just been quoted $278 fitted and balanced compared to some local stealers that want $315-320

Depends when they bought them. The Bridgys did go up to that price a little while ago, but they may have reduced them again. There was no way inhell they were gonna sell tyres when the Diablo was $279 retail. It depends on the shop who fits them too. Most charge for fitting and disposal. We don't and by the sounds of it, those guys don't either, so I'd buy 'em. That's pretty cheap.

I have allready ordered the tyre, they don't charge for fitting if you just bring the wheel in, I thought it sounded very cheap compared to what some others are asking

I also believe he said they were the bt012ss which he thinks are the only ones available in australia, does that sound correct?

Hi sook

will you be stocking the new Michelin Pilot Powers? annd if so what sort of price would you be asking? Ive seen them at MCA for $286 for the 190/50 17

Dude, I hate Michelin tyres. I have sold around 30 sets (if not more) of the Diablo over the last 2 months and I'd advise anyone that wants tyres to use them. I personally don't like the way Michelins feel on the orad, turning, grip etc. So that makes it hard for me to say "Yeah, great thing, try them" but that's me. MCA normally sell stuff for retail or near retail especially tyres, so yeah, I'd be arond the same money. BUT we don't charge to fit them. Not to your wheel, but to your bike.
