...and it'd still be dearer than Ebay.

 

In NZ and Oz, we have REPCO (Rip Every Poor C___ Off) which is like Halfords, and SuperCheap which is like Halfords, EuroParts and Machine Mart combined, but with less mark-up. But everything is still more expensive compared to the UK, purely because of the sourcing, shipping costs and import taxes to the bottom of the world.

 

First thing that comes to mind is the cheapness of tyres in the UK compared to NZ, and that's down to sheer (popn.) numbers, the more you can buy and sell, the better price you can squeeze from the manufacturer - there's something to be said for overcrowding!

 

Quick search for NZ prices for 205/50-15, converted to £...

- Toyo T1-R  £115

- Dunlop Direza Dz03G soft track-day  £145

- Toyo R888R  £215

- Yokohama Advan A048  £170 on special from £225

 

Edit - the Dunlops are the same price as the UK, and are used as a control tyre in some UK race series. Anyone used them on a Westy?
