Looking at getting some tyres (or tires as they say over there

) shipped. They will come to just under 1000aud but with shipping costs will be prob 1250 - will i be stung for the gst or is the shipping cost not counted in the 1000aud limit?

Thanks, Stu

I'd be interested to find out whether American tires squeal when they go around corners on Aussie roads

Wonder what they are made of too.

If I've got this the right way round most European tyres are based on silica / carbon black blends nowadays as they grip in the wet better.

Aus tyres are still mainly carbon black.

Don't know about the US.

Looked at the when the thread started and there was a much bigger price difference.
