Title: New tires
Post by: Willie_B on November 24, 2014, 02:55:00 PM
Mini Spares in the UK is having a 15% off sale. I was going to buy a new set of 10" A008 Yokos even before the sale but now it is even better. 4 tires delivered will cost $360. At Tire Rack the tires before shipping and tax are $364.

Of course if you were planning to buy anything else this would be a good time. The sale goes till mid-night Nov. 30.  4.gif

Do tire rack.  Odds are you get hit with 20 or 40 dollars for customs fees through mini spares.

The last set I got from Mini Spares I did not have any customs fees. But that was several years so I guess we will see if that has changed. Stay Tuned.

I use to get lucky with no fees but anything of size and value now gets hit every time.

DHL shipments are hit or miss. My shipments from UK are always huge and I never got hit until last time.

Just got a $15.78 bill from DHL for the tires. Still a better deal than anything over here. So even with the extra fee still saved about $50 buying from the UK.
