Does that mean Bob Jane has committed fraud?


And Luke, 18" $1,359, that's with basic tyres, they screwed my order up and gave me a $1,000 set of tyres for no extra cost.

Really? Maxxis are "worth" $250 a pop? I wouldn't have thought so. How do the tyres perform?

Yeah I bought the Maxxis 225/40ZR18 in early 2009. The car had 35864km on it and now the car has 57711km. The tyres were really quiet, and good in both the dry and wet. However, I have started to notice a little more road noise since they have worn. But for $209 each, I was happy,and still probably have another year of life on them :D
