Our Mitsibishi L300 van has Continental tyres but I'm sure they're re-treads so they don't have the original tread moulding anymore. 8-) >Even if you can't order from them, www.tirerack.com is a good place >to read reviews of specific tires by buyers.

I have visited the Tirerack site before, though as you say it's difficult to justify ordering from them once shipping to Australia makes anything more pricey than buying via a local dealer. We don't have anything quite like it here in Australia (much smaller market I suppose), but I'll definitely check the reviews out some more. I like Dunlop because they used to be a wholly Australian company. 8-) Not really anymore but they still have a strong local presence here through motor racing connections. My tax refund cheque should clear in a few days then it's off to find tyres. We have one really good tyre place that I know of from past experience called Regards, Craig. -- Craig Dewick - craignospamlet.apana.org.au - Founder/maintainer of the SunShack at www.sunshack.org - Operator of Jedi (an APANA Sydney PoP) - please visit www.jedi.apana.org.au or www.sydney.apana.org.au for more detailed information Lover of SpamAssassin - high quality open-source spam killing for the masses!
