    Hey team,

    My mate just picked up a set of rims for his breakout and is chasing a tyre for the front.

    Local shops are saying a 6 month wait, located central coast nsw

    Will that tyre be "Australian spec" haha..

    Remember on our used US imports 10+ years ago at "compliancing" we had to put brand new "Aussie" tyres on the bikes

    Which were made in the USA FFsake...

    Still HAD to do it tho', the pricks looked for it. New genuine HD brake pads too, I kid you not !

    Led to the compliancing centres selling "used" almost new US tyres on many occasions, for cash thru Gumtree etc etc.

    The 80's and early 90's were fun in WA for compliance stuff, I seen a near new stock Commodore knocked back for rego over the pits, what a bunch of tossers.
