yellow pages is your friend buddy. call around and ask for quotes.

i recommend you look up compatible tyre sizes with your rims. in your manual it will specify what tyres you need, so usually for every increase in width (ie 175-195) you go down on the profile. this is so your speedo does not over-read or under-read by much due to the new tyre sizes.
ie 185/60r14 or 195/60r14
something like that... i dunno...
there are a few wheel calculators on the net to help ya out. heres a good one:

[Frankie]

yeh dahon ive rung up a few tyres places and got a few quotes roughtly... just wanted to see if anyone knew a few place in syd...

but i think iam going to be going for the 195/55/14's

Ps sorry dude not intrested in 175 there a bit to small not very good in the wet or any conditon... thanks

[dahon]

lol no worries.
195 will be worse in the wet, as the larger the area of contact, the more prone to aquaplanning itll be btw.
+ increase in fuel consumption...
i currently got 205s on my car (from 185s) and ive recorded an increase of say 0.5L/100kms.
anyways good luck on finding them!

[Frankie]

okay that interesting lol... than maybe the 185's lol

[dahon]

and yeh also cost... 195s cost alot more... im sure u can find a large range of 185/60s here...
theyre standard on many cars... ive been referred to blairs tyres quite alot. down at lansvale.
i called em up before and it seems alright there aswell.

[Frankie]

okay yeh i will check that place out.... yeh 185 very common roughly 120 to 140 a tyre but if ya got connections probaly less lol....
