    I think it was something like 270-280 a corner for ps3s in 225/40-R18 from Costco

    Here's the latest forum pricing/deals from Goodyear Croydon:

    Goodyear F1-A2's

    225/40r18 - $185/tyre (42nd Week 2013)
    235/40r18 - $175/tyre (6th Week 2014)
    245/35r19's - $250/tyre
    235/35r19's - $270/tyre

    Shipping for 4 tyres to Syd/Adel - $60, Bris - $80, Perth - $160.

    Fitting/Balancing/Disposal is $19ea in store.

    To take advantage of these great prices contact Rubal @ Goodyear Croydon / Croydon Tyre Service - 03 9725 4633 / 0421 155 533.
    Has anyone bought these from Rubal? He's currently out of stock in the 225s but said he should have some more in in a month or so, which suits me actually as I've still got some tread left, but these prices $205 delivered plus $20 fitting/balancing/disposal (so $225 per corner) are outrageously cheap. Some local tyre suppliers we're quoting me close to double that!!! These are the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's yeah?

    Here's the same tyre at tyresales.....$313 compared against $225 from Rubal??

    Spot on. $281 fitted actually and they don't have their $70 rebate with a purchase of 4 tyres at the moment either.

    Got a quote on PS3's from Jaxx at $250 current July special (fitted etc)....shame I don't need them for another month or so just yet as still have around 1mm of tread left on the Contis.

    My local place is doing most of the big brands for around the $220-$230 mark f&b in 225/40r18 92 load rating (you don't want 88s).
    F1A2 are $235 92Y
    Re050A $250 92W
    CSC5 $220 92Y
    PS3 $230 92Y; $240 92W

    hit your locals for a price match

    Rubals prices are very good

    We used to let our customers buy tyres when the specials were on & fit them at a later date (just had to show the receipt for "free" fit & balance).

    Most of the truckies & cab drivers preferred it that way as they like to store them for 6-12 months so they hardened up.

    Yes I'm running a set which I got off Rubal at the start of the year. I know there are a heap of GTIs that turned up when they had the 4 for 3 sale which worked out to $165 a corner which is crazy cheap.

    These are brand new fresh rubber from Goodyear and not parallel import/old stock. Rubal owns Croydon store and buys these in bulk quantities so he can offer them to the forum members/internet to compete with the online tyre stores like tyre rack, Ozzy, St George, etc.

    Don't care to share what your local is? As again the prices above are way under what I've been quoted. PS3's varied from $250 (on special) to $280 and F1A2 varied from $310 to way over $400++!!!!

    The RS needs a 91W minimum tyre, hence I'm looking at the 92Ys.

    Cheers Tigger. If I buy from Rubal and get a local place to fit and balance (I'm in Brisbane hence can't get Rubal to fit and balance) then what sort of fit and balance prices should I expect from a local place that I didn't purchase the tyres from? More than the $20 per corner Rubal's quoting I assume?

    Why would a lower speed tyre (92W) be more expensive than a higher speed (92Y) tyre?

    You could ring a couple of places but $20-25 a corner if you include disposal should cover it.
