What did you end up doing about the tyre(s)?

Was $2500 landed vs $1800 fitted locally to get the RS3's from Tire Rack. No one locally could source current version fronts to match the rears, and I couldn't find an Aus retailer willing to sell me any, so went with the single tyre option.

Bought a single rear MPSS tyre locally for $890 fitted and balanced. Rears were only down to 5.75mm (from 8mm new) so shouldn't be an issue running a new tyre.

Agree with your prediction that our run of cheap tyres is all but over. Out of curiosity, did any of you price up MPSC2's locally? Looks like $3700 landed from Tire Rack currently.
My MPSS were $2200 landed (I think) when I bought them in last year. Looks like $2700 now due to exchange rate and slight cost increase at Tire Rack. Locally they'd be $2900 fitted and balanced, negating any value in importing, although I expect this is based on stock bought in when the kiwi was much stronger.

Had posted about CAT D UK cars offering 20% price discount. But, on consideration don't think the NZ market would be keen. Doesn't take much at UK tech. rates to write a car off, though.

^^ not sure local 997.2 RS's are selling for $375K AUD?? This one has sold.
It does have a delivery milage, but not sure kiwi cars are much more than $250K?

FYI a 7.2 GT3 RS was advertised and sold privately in Feb for 230k AUD as Stuart here knows. Private sales were moving around 230-275k a few months ago when I looked into it with some 7.2 RS owners for him over there..
