Importing tyres

[Belzybob]

I suspect it's because of Greedy Middle men . The local bloke I USED to get tires from can't even buy tires from the importer at the price We can buy from the USA . Our Resellers need to band together & put some pressure on these Prick's or Don't sell their Brands .If we boycotted a particular Brand the Manufacturer May Look into these sweetheart Deals .

Absolutely spot on. It doesn't just apply to tyres, just compare almost every imported item. This morning I was looking at home theatre AV receivers and just about every decent brand was priced at almost twice the price it could be sourced from the US (regular prices, not one-off specials).
