Ducati Penrith supplied fitted and balanced a set of Pilot Pures for me on saturday for $495.00.
I thought that was a pretty good deal. Might be worth a look..

Did you ride in or take the rims? Either way for a bike shop to fit fairly new tyres I think $495 was ok, but if that was ride in ride out then it's really pretty good.

Ok I meant to say (after providing prices i paid recently as an example on Metzler sets) have a look around well before you need them, I have heard of great deals on most brands if you take the time. A few sponsors here do tyres so check them out.
I have no idea about tyres and since faster people than me recommend Pures who am I to question, I might have to buy a set to see what they are about

Sorry Gav, didn't mean to rain in on the parade.
If you want to get tyres from the US, try Rockymountain. They ship to Australia within a week, they do a lot of bike accessories as well and everyone I know who has dealt with them has only said good things. There are other US suppliers who are cheaper still but don't send to Australia.
I had up until now always bought local, but when you consider the tyres are manufactured in Thailand, shipped to the US and then airfreighted to Aus at a 30% discount, buying local doesn't stack up.
Note - if you buy 2 sets the airfreight is about $80, if you buy 3 sets it goes up to $300.
