215/45R17 is the wrong size for the CL9 Euro. The correct sizes are either 225/45R17 (factory fitted size) or 205/50R17 which has a slightly less wide contact patch and so in (my) theory should be less prone to tramlining.

Because they are a franchise? They also probably do as the supermarkets do and charge higher prices in affluent suburbs.

I called hornsby bob jane before, they said $277 for R001 fitted and balance, and I also get the price of RE050 from Taleb Tyres, they said $280 fitted and balance. I was just wondering which one is better, as there price are very similar.

Exactly.But they'll price match.

I am using the RE040 now, is it ok to just change 1 tyre to RE001, as 3 of my tyres are still ok to use.? or it is better to change all to RE001?

Don't change one. If you have to change, change a front pair or rear pair. Never use different tyres on left and right sides.
