    $450 per tyre fitted is a fair price for that particular tyre , BFG are a very expensive product

    Beurepairs Quoted me $620 each + fitting and balancing for BFGs for my Pajero ( 32x11.5R15 MTs). And that was my "special discounted price"

    Local Firestone (Peter Ross Tyres) did same tyre for $500 each Fitted and Balanced......................... guess where I went

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.
