In Sydney, a person at the service centre who will remain nameless, but should know, suggested that when the time comes, I should get my tyres at Tempe tyres!!

I had my car serviced last week and they advised the rears in particular were now below 1.6mm on the inside.
So I made 60,900Km on my first set which I thought was pretty good.
I tried a few places and most couldn’t get the Michelin Premacy3ST as is recommended, even Tempe tyres were unable to get them and offered some cheap Khumo’s for $199 each but I looked them up online and they came second last in every published tyre test I could find. Good if you just want new tyres to resell on the car.
I ended up going with Jax Spinning Wheel Tyres in Waterloo for $1600 all up for 4 Premacy ST3’s including fitting, balancing and a full wheel alignment included. So not quite as cheap as QLD.
Took a while to do the alignment as they had to drop the shields at the back to get to the alignment nuts.
Had to wait a day for the tyres to come in and when they did Michelin sent 8, so they currently have stock for anyone needing new tyres.

I have the staggered 21inch tyres and Tesla did all 4 for about $2,200 including fitting and alignment....why bother with a third party?

Tesla quoted me much more than that. I don’t recall exact amount but it was well over $1000 (?$1400) for just the two fronts. And mine are 19”.

I asked about tyres at the Moorabin AP Costco. Mich Primary 3ST for $369. The run flats are $390. The Bridgestones are $367. Cant read writing ER33? Sounds all right to me. That tin can repair kit ruins your tyre. I carry a tubeless tyre repair kit & a compressor. One tool opens the hole the other feeds a plug with glue. In Vic this is supposedly verbotten. Everything which is not allowed is forbidden". I see nothing wrong with a roadside repair followed up by a garage fix.

What sizes are those prices for?
That's a fairly solid repair kit to have with you, hopefully you never have to use it on your own car. The hole reaming tool is disturbing to use if you've never done it before!

On several occasions I’ve done this exact repair and then put another 40,000 km on the tyre. No problem.
