Has anyone ever imported tyres to NZ from the USA or Europe?
I got a quote for some Goodyear Duratrac tyres to fit a Land Rover and they are NZ$470 each.
The US price is equivalent to NZ$260.
I suspect that the same kind of price differentials exist for most tyres. If enough of us got together to import what we want in a container or part container do you think it would be worth it? Obviously you'd pay GST on landing but 15% on $260 still doesn't get to $470!
