    Update: Correct tyres shipped within 24 hours, picked them up just then. Top service all the way through.

    Got these delivered in 5 days! Toyo R888 225/45/15

    Great service! I would have bought locally but for some reason Toyo don't sell this size in Australia.

    I enquired about some Pirelli P Zero's tonight with Tire rack and they told me that due to a sales agreement with Pirelli they will not ship out of the 48 states.

    Here's my contribution back to this forum. just for those who might be keen on Michellin's... I've requested a quote for a mate who is really keen on getting the PSS's. Got a quote response from Tire Rack 2 days ago with full shipment pricing. So I believe at this stage, you can still get the Michellin's. My only disclaimer is that I hvn't confirmed the order for my mate yet... so... maybe things might change?? Jump onboard asap for those who wants Michellin's from Tire Rack! GOOD LUCK!

    Two things jump out from this thread about tyres that we supposedly cannot buy from the US. First, there is a free trade agreement, Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement - Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
    between the two countries that seemingly prohibits this behaviour, whether the FTA includes consumers, I am not sure, contact your friendly ACCC, 1300 302502, or see at Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement - Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

    And secondly, there appear to be agents that one can engage to do the buying for you.

    All nice in theory, but ur dealing with the govt, who wants to be the one that tries to fight the system when the alternative (buying another comparable and equally good brand, or getting from another country) is just as easy, maybe not as cheap but still cheaper than locally.
    Sometimes u gotta fight the good fight and know when to cut ur losses.
