Who does good tyres in Brisbane?

Post by nick62 »

As the title says, Im after some references (suppliers and fitters) for tyres for the 56, in Brisbane and somewhere that can balance wide 5's.
Recently the front left started to shake. Not the clutch, I then remember having the same problem with a Camry. Checked the rear drivers tyre to find a nasty egg in the tyre. You can see the warp in the tread going lengthways.


Fitted the spare and problem solved. :)

I have 165 R15 86T's on her at the moment, just wondering if this size is original as I would like to stay up in the clouds with the 'Mile High Club'.

Any help much appreciated
Cheers Nicko

Brooke and the guys were awesome, recommend to anyone for VWs. NUG I reckon you should put a compendium together for VW service/repairs for Brisbane!

While I was waiting for the new tyres to go on this turned up, schweeeeeeet as!
