Depends on what you’re after, what’s the tyre size and what have you been quoted?

I’m extremely careful when buying tyres, and tailor accordingly to the car (there’s 5 cars in my family).

If you’ve tried the usual suspects like Bob Jane, Bridgestone Select, Goodyear Autocare, etc, perhaps try Jax Tyres or online suppliers like tyresales, tyroola. The online suppliers can arrange local fitting, or you could use their prices to bargain will the traditional storefronts.

Also, tyre retailers have specials from time to time which can save heaps.


Shop around but don’t buy cheap tyres.
Get the best you can afford.
Good tyres make a big difference when you need them

Bridgestone have a 4 for 3 deal on PotenzaAdrenalin RE003 for $1000 total which seems ok

Yep, seems OK, although do you need such an aggressive tyre?

Pity, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport were recently heavily discounted but have gone up again, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4/5 are at least $300 more than the RE003s.

It's only for my daughter on her Ps, but the spec for her car says this size tyre, and that was the best deal

Yep, seeing the same, somehow the RE003s are the cheapest in that size :shock:

I don’t always buy tyres there, but I’m pretty tight with the local Bob Janes, and they’re pretty good at letting me know if some manufacturer specials are coming soon. There were heaps in Dec/Jan.

Do you urgently need to buy now or can wait a bit?

Cheers for that.
Bridgestone come in slightly cheaper than them for the same tyre

Unless you want bakery food I don’t think there is that much of a savings at Costco.

Not the products I would buy anyway

To maximise the value you need to be a regular grocery shopper for bulk items and also use their fuel station.

Or certain businesses. My brother in law has a food van/catering business. Reckons he saves a shitload of money shopping there.

I rate it highly, thoroughly worth it for roasts, seafood, hosting parties, designer clothing and huge man’s handbag chickens at half the price of coles.

It suits my needs so the money is worth it, petrol can be up to 40c per litre cheaper too.
