Ignoring the best advice

Despite being advised by Yokohama Australia that American tyres would be unsuitable for Australian cars as we drive on the left, I went and got me some Yokohama Avid S/T's. 255/60/15 and 275/60/15. Emailed the friendly types at Tirerack, handed over the Visa Card number and delivery address, and 5 days later, 4 tyres arrive. $AUD659 total (=tyres and shipping to your door). No duty, as it's less than the $1000 threshold. $60 to fit the 4 tyres and we're done.

I wasn't after a flat out performance tyre (I've got some 17's), but something a little better than the Sumitomos and the 352s for the street. Time will tell

Well, so far, so good. 200k cruise. Quiet tyre. Stayed on the Aussie side of the road

Performance rating pending

Richard
