Why are tyres in oz so expensive

[spamanglenn]

I believe 2 things occur.The australian importer of whatever it is doesn,t get the same discount from the manufacturer as the high volume us wholesaler and secondly the australian sellers sell alot less of the product with higher wages and rents and put a bigger margin on the goods to make it viable to keep the doors open.A good start would be to be able to buy the stock at the same price as the US wholesalers do and then they could be sold cheaper and increase volume of sales.
