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.

That's for Cayman sizes- 235 and 265 in 19". Just convert to NZD and add GST.
I was thinking the Cup2's at $3450nz were better value...

No bloody way we need to keep as many here as we can.

Just got this back from tire rack yesterday: The total for the Super Sports would be: $1,538.03 including shipping. Both sizes are currently on backorder. The Sport Cup 2 would come to $2,042.00 USD and would arrive in 3-6 business days. That's for Cayman sizes- 235 and 265 in 19". Just convert to NZD and add GST.

Anyone know what the cup2's go for in NZ? I'm guessing if Jake just paid $800+ for a MPSS, the cup2's will be well over a grand each...?

Track wheels? I'm listening, albeit I've just been gouged $399 for a set of euro plates so I'll need time to recover my finances.

They are fine mate. The haven't slowed the GT3 down much on our wet back road runs. The managed winter Europe fine. The ride we did last NITT was epic rain of biblical proportions (others will agree) and they find step our. They are a bit old and hard now but the only place I'd say they are tricky is in pouring rain or standing water on the track...same goes for Trofeo R but more so...,
