Jax Quick fit in Moorabin have always been good to me and have very competitive prices. That outlet is owned by Cameron McConville, he and his team seem to take much more care with my car than any other tyre shop I've been to. They seem to actually genuinely care, which is a really nice change from most tyre shops...

Melbourne is a fairly big place, what area do you want.

In the north, I use Tyrepower in Reservoir.
Stuckey Tyre in Brunswick (MX5 Club Sponsor) and Tyrepower in Essendon are also recommended.

Associated Tyres in Cheltenham were by the far the cheapest quote I got on my Yoko S Drives and they also handle Kumho's so worth a try. Ask for michael and say Peter from Geelong said you would get a good deal.

Good luck,

Thanks everyone! I have just ordered a set of Kumho KU31s 205/50/15s from Ray at Tyrepower Reservoir, wheel alignment is booked in also. He was happy to price match to $115 a corner and was very helpful and friendly to deal with, can't wait to get the NA back on the road with it's fancy new shoes!

Oh, and the Rota RBs, got shipped from the States via ebay, $680 delivered for a set of 4 including the hub centric rings and a set of nuts... good deal eh?! Go aussie dollar go!

Another vote for KU31
Kmart regularly has them for ~$99 (including tyre disposal which bob jane doesn't include!)

$ for $ is best value imo.

Awesome, can some on Sydney (north shore area) recommend me a tyre shop to fit 17x7 or 17x8 Enkei RPF1 rims? What price did you pay for yours?
