    Good Tyres Cheap

    Came across this mob while searching for some tyres
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171020770...84.m1423.l2649

    Also that mob in Sydney will let you buy as many as you like be it just one, two or four
    their prices are better as it includes freight but ask first

    They also sell the stub axle and boss if you want a DIY swing away rear wheel carrier

    Personally I would avoid Huntsman like the plague..

    At the beginning of the year I ordered 5 x Mickey Thompson Alloys, centre caps and wheel nuts from them.
    I rang before I ordered to make sure they were in stock and told "Yup got them all here, you can have them before the end of the week"
    So ordered and paid for.

    One weeks later..no rims..call Huntsman."Sorry don't have stock so they are on back order"
    Two weeks later "Sorry they are not in yet"
    Fast forward 3 months, many phone calls and many excuses later The courier arrives with..wait for it...4 rims.

    Call Huntsman (by now I have them on speed dial).."We will check out what has happened and call you back"
    Two days later another call to Hunstman "Sorry we are chasing it for you"
    Fast forward a week and more now "Its on Backorder"

    Fast forward 3 weeks and the 5th rim arrives (Direct from Mickey Thompson" but slightly different pattern to the other 4 and the wheel nuts have not arrived yet either
    Speed Dial to Hunstman and "We will look into it and will get you the wheel nuts asap"
    Approx 4 Week Later, Wheel nuts arrive (sent Direct from Mickey Thompson)
    At this stage I have gone stuff it and gone to get the 37's mounted.

    So go get the 37's mounted come home and do a trial fit
    But on all the rims (ie the first 4 sent from huntsman) the centre bore has not been machined to fit on a GU so they don't fit.
    The one sent direct from Mickey T does fit and has been machined out properly.

    At this stage..6 months from order to know..Huntsman has not done anything to fix the problem.
    I actually gave up and sent the rims of to get the centre bore machined and paid for it myself.

    Avoid with a capital "A"

    My experience with Huntsman has been quite the opposite. I was impressed with their service. Admittedly all I purchased were wheel nuts, a full set for the Patrol, plus 4 spares. Bought via ebay.

    They arrived quickly, but two of the 30 were the wrong thread size. I sent them an ebay message requesting they supply me with two replacement wheel nuts. A few days later I received a second package from them with another 30 wheel nuts, all the correct size & a note saying ‘with compliments’.

    Although i hadn't bought anything from them i have spoken to them a few times and seemed good. You could prolly get them cheaper if you were picking up. They advertised some km2's awhile back and we're the cheapest. I rang them and they dropped the price more if I were to pick up.
