need some tyres for the t3 in a hurry. i am meant to be workign tomorrow morning, the car is being roadworthied right now, and is meant to be regoed tomorrow arvo. i can get Khumo's for $105 each, my mechanic is seeing if he can chase some Symex for me, i havent found a price or locality of any other brand yet.
can anyone suggest somewhere, preferably in the outer east Melbourne (RIngwood etc) that has some cheap new treads of this size?

My tyre guy is in Rowville, probably too far from you. He's a Yokohama guy and does me a good price 'cos he knows my Dad. 🙂

Maybe just try some Tyre specialist places from the phonebook? Bob Jane or something?

Best of luck!

Fleurs Beetle is just sitting at the moment as the Helbus is her beast now. If 4 stud Beetle wheels will fit, you are welcome to jack it up and borrow a couple. It has 165's on it and they are nearly new. We are in Ringwood. so not far for you. ring me anytime after 7.30 in the morning if it helps. 0403 226 999. It might be a good option as it would only take you 5 minutes to get them off.

glad it worked out BBCK - sounds like you had similar problems with me when I was trying to get my RWC! I was a champion at swapping all four tyres on my car in about 10 mins after that!
