    Where to buy tyres online?

    Afternoon gentlemen.

    Appreciate if anyone can recommend some places to buy tyres online. I will fit myself so looking for cheapest price. From a search i saw someone recommend jakewilson.com but it looks like they dont ship international.

    Cheers

    Yeup, your problem is international shipping of tyres. I think there are rules now that tyres must be ground shipped... doesn't work over water so well

    Jake wilson was the last place I ordered from, but that was late 2011 from memory.

    These things move a good few tyres, something I do often.

    Sure, makes sense to me (other than the proposition in the pic).

    However, those online sites don't seem to allow that, and I'm not in the business of needing a 20ft container of motorcycle tyres... or have the budget

    Surprisingly cheap. 40ft even cheaper, well per tyre.

    Motomummy ship to NZ. About US $100 for a set from memory.

    The Yanks seem to like their rebates, can be $50 per set. But I've never worked out how to claim from NZ.
