If you buy 4 tyres (Bridgestone, Dunlop or Goodyear) from Kmart, you get a $100 Coles express fuel card.
Thats just as good as money if you ask me.

Makes tyres a bit cheaper
It is a good deal because Kmart tyres are already cheap - they sell big name brands as well as rubbish brands.
The funny thing is, the generic brands were only $2 cheaper for my car.
If only they had this deal a few months ago…
I wanted to unleash hell what with being your first deal posted and all, but hey, good deal ; )
hey, at least he didn't say 'go easy it's my first post'-with some ozbargain members it's like waving a red flag to a bull!
Heh Ive been watching this site for ages, no way would I say "go easy".
I might do it second post though, just to be different.
Anyone know what the best tyres are? Mine are pretty worn and need to get 4 new ones so might get in on this deal. I've got the i30 SR (sports model) which has 17" rims… Is 1 brand/model better over the other?
Whatever you end up getting, I recommend silica compound tyres. A bit more expensive but less road noise and they last longer.
Kmart has a limited tyres range, I think Bridgestone RE92 will probably be your choice to go with the 17 rims (may already on your car as OEM…).
actually they can order them in. Just tell them what you want and a competitors price and usually they will match it too
'Best' is pretty subjective. As long as you stick to a decent brand (such as the Bridgestone, Dunlop and Goodyears as part of the deal) it's pretty hard to go too wrong.
Michelin Pilot Sport 3. Wouldn't expect them to be more than $400 each, and you get $100 fuel back!
I have been thinking yhe same. Which brand of tyres will be best for Nissan X-trail? Any idea. Thxs
What do you usually use your car for? Mainly highway driving? I did some research before on this and earlier in the year got the Bridgstone D683. It apparently had a good wear life before the need to change tyres (I want them to last a while between changes). This was from forums replies looking for long wear tyres. But the Yokohamas might be a better pick if you're after a softer compound, which means they'll wear faster but have better grip.
Are round wheels better than square ones? Is there a website with the benefits of each size so I can compare them?
square wheels seem to work pretty well in Canada
what a joyous occasion for Canada, and therefore the world.
If you want improved grip and tyres life (especially on the older cars), then upgrade your rear swaybar. Makes a helluva difference.
Do you have bad experience changing tyres with Kmart?
or Bob Jane is better?
If I am not mistaken, after half year, you can go back to Bob Jane to get wheel balancing for free.
Can Kmart price match Bob Jane?
Go to a Shell Kmart tyre and auto place, they are meant to be much better then the standalone places.
in what way? prices?
No, sorry I should have been clear.
From what I understand, Shell Kmart T&A's are much better quality and are run by the same quality that Shell used to be.
Good question.
I bought my last tyres from Bob Jane.
I utilised the free wheel change and balancing, its a good perk I must admit.
Would be nice if Kmart can match that.
But, I think Kmart tyres are cheaper.
Especially cheaper now due to my post :) $100 off.
Agree a wheel balance and tyre rotation thrown in would clinch it.

FREE 4 Premium Computer Wheel Balances
FREE Tyre rotation, performed if required
FREE Tyre air pressure check
I wonder what's premium wheel balance.
The difference between standard and premium is still pretty vague after reading this:
http://www.ktas.com.au/tyres/wheel-maintenance#wheel-balanci…
i asked them about it, i was just told it's a different (better) technique of wheel balancing. he told me what the difference was, but to be honest i didn't really get it :)
$5 extra per tyre.
I'd hope it's either it's either balanced or it's not! So either the std version is crap or the premium is a con/ripoff. Can't be good either way lol
Says at the bottom you get free fitting and standard computer wheel balance?
Anyone know what the cheapest 13 inch wheels would be?
I have an n13 pulsar with 13 inch wheels, but my size is one of the more expensive ones. 175 75 R13. But the cheapest I could get from a shell kmart tyre and auto in canberra about 1.5 years ago was $68 per tyre. I think many others are slightly less wide and therefore cheaper.
You want cheaper than $68 per tyre? Jeez… if only I could get $68 tyres for my size!! :)
I have the same car and it's hardly worth the price of new tyres. I think I will just hunt around for some decent seconds.
Pity they don't sell motorbike tyres.
u need 4 Motorbike tires???
must be a strange looking bike mate lol
Might be a 2 bike family.
quad bike
yup, mate and I both need a new set for our dual sports. We want the same tyres.
$100 of fuel. that will be about 23 liters soon.
Whatever, $100 is still $100.
$100 will currently get me one full tank of petrol. It is insanity.
Depends on your car.
My tank is about $40 worth, and probably drives as far as your $100.
My BP $250 card lasted me 6 months on a Camry Altise!
Is that because you kept forgetting to take it with you?
Anyone found any $25 tyres yet? Any 1 inch tyres for my RC Car?
just got Goodyear assurance x4 ($107 each) + $45 wheel alignment + $100 cashback = did I get ripped off? how does this compare to the Goodyear Autocare deal where they were offering buy 3 get 4? Normally wheel alignment necessary when getting new tyres installed?
Good deal like buy 3 get 1 free.
