Wanted. Tyres. 165/45r15. Newcastle.

[Chad_]

As title says. Am in need of atleast 2. I have 165/50r15 On some chaser style rims at the moment but makes my car sit a bit higher. I just cannot seem to find a shop that sell these anymore. Even if i can just borrow them for a weekend or buy some second hand as my boy may be getting a feature photoshoot. Any help would b greatly appreciated.

Try getting in touch with National Tyre Wholesalers, they're the NSW distributor for Federal Tyres (who should have 165/45/R15 tyres).

Federal FD1's are available & reasonably priced in that size. Just need to ring tyre places & ask if they deal in Federal tyres. If they don't, call the next mob. I got mine thru The Tyre Factory in Sunshine Vic.

Bridgestone also do a tyre in that size, but it's a fair whack more expensive.

I forgot to ask, what is the 'feature photo shoot' for?

[Chad_]

Ill giv it a go. Ive tryd everywhere in newcastle area and tried most of the sydney joints 2 with no luck. Bagged magazine. They squeezed in a little pic in the last issue in the central coast showdown coverage. The boy has changed alot since then. It took out lowest of show award there aswell.

Gday Chad,
Could you tell me what width rim you are using for the 165/45/15 and do the tyres fit well?
Cheers

Hey man

Call your local jap wrecker and ask for 15" hyundai elantra rims and as for 15" tyres, go to the federal website and email them about it, they called be back the next morning and had organised them to be ordered in for me to my local tyre shop

My rims are 5 1/2' wide. How much were the federals?

[ZUTUTU]

about $100 each

[ToranaGuy]
