Whats the 'buzz' in QLD for tyres supply and fit??
Who has the stock, range, knowledge & expertice to do a good job?
I didnt say the cheapest as I look for value for money- sometimes that means the cheapest other times it means pay more get more.
Before anyone asks, at this point in time I ride All-Terrain-Vehicles so I want All-Terrain tyres (not that there really is such a thing as it is all about compromise) just not looking for anything specific such as sand, mud etc...
I have found most 'main stream' bike shops to have little or no stock along with lack of coice.
Cheers

Most of the dealers linked to this site can offer plenty of choice ...Maxxis Razor 2 are a good all round tyre - 6 ply so dont get punctures easy. Most will freight for about $30 a pair. Try Southern Quads , or Austraco .
Yamaha in Moss ST Slacks Creek can fit for about $6 per tyre....

Value for money, go with Kenda Klaws.
Great Traction, go with ITP (basically any of there tires) But they will not last as long as Klaws.
All Rounder, Maxxis, Razr, Razr2, iRazr.
And Luke Beechey Motorsport (starting up soon) is bringing in another brand of tire similar to maxxis, not to shure what the brand is but they look pretty decent.

Cheers guys
I have and am a fan of Carlisle and ITP tyres.
Was hoping to find a dealer for these in QLD but will look into all of the suggested outlets thanks.

You can get ITP from RAT Motorsport and Carlisle from Hardiman (Im not 100% on that)

Dont buy ITP XCR Holeshots they are to weak and wear out way to fast. The other ITP range is ok.

I know the ITP mxr6 only took 1 ride at blackduck to be stuffed. Most of the ITP tires are made from very soft ruber compounds... Thats why they hook up so well. The Klaws are not far behind in traction and last ages. I have never used or seen turf tamers being used but they look like they would last a while and if you grove them right apparently they hook up.
