    Advanced Tyres and Tyres Plus, both in Richmond have served me well..

    I've enquired about tyres before from St George, as they are very cheap, but was put off by the manufacture date.

    Some tyres (not necessarily all) were manufactured years ago.

    The ones I bought are 2010 manufacture so more than fine from my point of view (even if it is early 2010). If they turn out to be pre 2010 then their advert was false and misleading!

    Anyway a good saving of $120 a tyre so happy to have the extra $400 in my pocket after shipping.

    yeah, good price...

    now, for SC3, 225-40-18 and 225-45-17 are almost same price from there...
    I would go for Pentas instead of SRi 17.

    Just a quick update I received the new SC3's on Wednesday and had them fitted this morning. All I can say is that St George tyres were good to deal with, shipped promptly after payment and the tyres were exactly as described (manufactured week 27 2010). After my experience I would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for good quality tyres at a bargain price

    Anyway thanks HoldenAstra for posting the ebay link as you saved me about $400!

    Now I forward to doing some track days at Phillip Island in August with my old tyres on my spare set of rims!

    haha...no worries, and good to hear your review...

    You are the second guy in forum who bought tyres from St George after I post the eBay link.

    I guess I will ask for serious discount from St George tyre when I buy new Contis SC3 for my 17'', haha...
