As the topic says, I was just trying to find out who sells MT tyres in the Newcastle or Sydney regions.
Looking at getting a pair of MT ET Street Radial Drag Tyres 3743R in 275/40-17 fitted to a pair of BA XR6 17" wheels. The other option I was looking at was getting a set of Nitto NT05R's in 275/40-17. Anyone have any experience with either of these tyres and any advice which way to go?

Thanks for the referral, I ended up getting a pair of NT05R's fitted yesterday. Mostly due to the fact that Taleb tyres had them I'm stock ready to go and I was heading down to the gf's place so it was the convenient option. I'll definitely look into them next time if the NT05R's don't live up to expectations.
Hoping the weather gets a bit better or else WSID won't be happening tomorrow night...

$250 a tyre. That's fitted and everything so it was a pretty good price I think. Tyres are 275/40-17.
Taleb seem to be pretty good with their pricing and are no fuss with both times I've been in there now. Unfortunately it definitely looks unlikely for WSID tonight, just feeling the tyres brand new they seem stickier than when I ran my hand over my NT05's which had a bit of heat in them. Of course this isn't much of a test but I'm still interested as I've read some decent reviews on the net for them. Maybe next week if tonight doesn't happen
