I dont know of any differance with import tyre's , but i know there is no warranty on them , under australian law the importer of an item is deemed the manufacturer & must supply a warranty , so in the event of a crash if the tyre was found to be the cause good luck with insurance & you would probably be liable for any injuries & damage if others are involved , i know they are cheaper from the us i cant get them from the supplier's here in australia anywhere near what u can get them from the us , so be carefull blaming the local shops its more likley the importers having to carry the warranty and any other import crap they are slugged that is costing more so you can thank our elected in canberra.

Fully sympathise with retailers being rorted by distributors. Thats pretty much the case with all inflated Oz pricing; its the importer/distributor fat cat. The same guys that try to block people buying overseas by locking overseas distributors/retailers into restrictive practices.

As to stories about differences in direct imports vs distributor imports, its probably just the old helmet bull shit we've heard so many times before.
