T5 Tyres

[Bryan]

I need to get some new tyres for my 2.5 T5, 235 55 17 (103) but they are so expensive, I was quoted $584.00 each today>

Any thoughts on alternatives or a good place to get a good deal.

I am in Victoria.

I found some tyres, Hankook, at $245.00 each.

584 for 17s! That's daylight robbery!

They're expensive because they need to have 103 load rating. Very few have. Was quoted "about $500 each" recently - went for Hankooks at about $220 each. Read on this forum that T5 owners like them.
