- 2019 CALAIS ZB V Tourer
Ive been a fanboy of the Calais V Tourer since buying it, but I just replaced my tyres & got the shock of my life. Admittedly, I should have asked the price before. I just took it to the place I always go because theyve always offered good service.
I asked for mid range tyres, similar to the other tyres. Got Goodyear efficient Grip Performance SUV - $1484. I was expecting around $800. Already had a blue with the missus that morning, so Ill save giving her the invoice for the next day or two, which should cover me for the weekend.
The bloke at the dealership said they were an unusual size tyre. Is this true? What are others putting on the car as a replacement?
Im in a regional area.
Edit - Most other tyre dealerships seem around the same amount. Just checked tyresales & I could have got the same tyres for $792 - so I think Ive been had.
