I had a problem with a Q2 tyre from USA, emailed problem with pic,responce same day, Shipped replacement the next Day arrived 6 days later. Dont get me wrong i prefer to buy stuff here and as far as mechanical repairs i never but the part and ask my mechanic to fit it,this also includes chain and sprockets,but with tyres if there is enough in it well so be it but locals always get the chance to quote a price before i buy them.As my favorite track tyre is a 003 bridgestone there is no-one that gets close to $250 as set as i buy 2 sets at a time thats $500 plus $45 freight with my discounts plus $60 fitting thats with our dollar under $600 delivered for 4 tyres and fitted.I hope one day i can find someone who does these cheap but it will be a while off as i have 3 rears and 2 fronts ready to go on ;)

Well sounds like great service and you cant complain about that and as for buying out of town i would be the biggest sinner of all for that, but theres just some things when it comes to warranty i like to keep close by but it sounds like you found a good company to do business with 8)

As a comparison a set of Q2s fitted by Madaz is $529.
+1 for team moto, cheapest around i reckon. :kuda:

What tyres you looking at? Pirelli Diablos are $349 fitted @ team moto. Looks like power pures are now $399 too, were $429 last time I got em.

well BT016 are $399 @ team moto fitted so sounds like your $260 a set is a good price, just take em to AllFixed at Castle Hill he'll charge a fair price and he won't hit your bike with a forklift. Don't forget to mention that you are a forum member.

They are good. Very grippy for a road tyre, but they wear fast.
