          Tink: Not sure what that means.

          MYDC5R: with the exchange rate the way it is at the moment, there is a lot of stuff coming in from the states, so these types of delays should be expected.

                Yes

                All it means is, they're checking if any soil or debris, is on the tyres.

                We do live in a wonderful environment after all.

                  Tinks,
                  not sure if this is the same issue i had to go through with, but tyres, whether new or used, must be inspected by quarantine (lady @ FedEx explained to me)

                  my tyres sat in the fedex facility for almost a week due to their incompetence...

                  if its the duty + GST your worried about, someone from FedEx would have called you already about it.

                  mate of mine had his shipment charged for Duty + GST before the goods had even landed on our shores.

                    all good - was slightly concerned abt taxes - but i already had an email convo with Customs about it prior to purchase saying it will be all good if under 1000...

                      Was curious about this so I gave my clearance company a call.

                      Couldn't find out much as the reason is too vague and could mean a mirid of things. Has it actually been despatched? If so then you can narrow it down to it being a local delay.

                      If you want a more definate reason PM me your track no. and I can get my clearance guy to find out the exact reason for you.


                      Never mind about what I said as I just read your last post Dave.

                                Definitely consider the Z1s, especially considering how cheap they are from tirerack at the moment in your size. They offer a good step up in grip over the RE001 in my experience and will tolerate track use better. The AD08 and RE11 are also worth considering but I doubt they are worth the 20-30% price premium over the Dunlops.
