Best place to buy 4x4 tyres in SE Qld
I am looking to replace the 17" tyres on my GU Patrol. Does anyone know who is offering good deals at present.

because that is how you shop around to save yourself money..if you want to save money you need to make an effort....doe wrote:Why should he ring them back if there first offer was not good enough why go back.
i always deal with Fourbys for anything in tyres..they have always given me great service and prices..
what sort of tyres were you after..
all terrains i recommend the Mickey T ATZ and for slightly more aggressive the Cooper STT.. i have had both these sets of tyres on my GQ and cant fault them

I see the problem. You're asking where to buy 4x4 tyres but what you really want is cafe terrains. Fourbys probably aren't a premium Bridgestone dealer because they don't move alot of them so aren't able to buy them at the crazy prices you found.
Best to stick to one of the main Bridgestone distributors for the beat deal on some duellers if that's what you're into, they're supposed to serve some fierce mocha-latte-cinos in the customer lounge.
On the other hand, if you change your mind and decide to buy real 4x4 tyres definately hit up Fourbys again and you will save money while enjoying complimentary beers, cigars and strippers in the Fourbys Customer Den.

lots of people here seem to have a great experience with forby's and thats why i went there for my swampers.....but after 3 months and no communication i cancelled my order and went else where. My mate got them for me in 5 days.....just didnt think to ask him first as he doesnt normally do specialist 4x4 tyres, mostly car tyres.

I would hardly call the Bridgestone D673 a "cafe terrain". I merely used Bridgestone as an example as I haven't had a chance to shop around for any other brand yet. Doubt if I would bother going back to them as the response received over the years has always been pretty similar.RAY185 wrote:I see the problem.

well what type of driving do you do? Alot of highway? gravel roads? mud? Are you looking to get bigger tyres?
There is ALOT of good info floating around this site, and ALOT of people who have heaps of 4x4 experience - you just have to ask the right way.
also have a look at the 'tyre topics'- they have info/expriences/opinons of those who have had that tyre

^^^^ this, for me if a business isnt competitive straight up, i wont bother calling them back to price match. i am arrogant though.

spend 20 cents and ring them back and say "hey you were way overpirced on those tyres you quoted me, is there any chance you could possibly do them cheaper"
some stores get different buy prices or have to list retail prices at a higher rate than a preferred distributor of certain brands..Forbys probably arent a preferred distributor of the Bridgestones whereas your other cheaper place may well be..

x2 on Big Tyre Group, Mike sold me Bighorns around $100 cheaper than I could get anywhere else and even helped with shipping to Gladstone which only cost $47. Later on he tracked down a second hand one to replace one of mine I damaged from another of his customers, which he made no money out of. Very happy with the service.
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.
