    Used to be a reasonable deal, but since the price of Serenity tyres seems to have jumped up by about $50 per tyre, it's not really getting a free 4th tyre.

    • incipient on 01/08/2022 - 15:36

      I mean that's also inflation/shipping. With the price of containers having gone up by about $10k. With say 500 tyres in a container, that's just $20 more on shipping alone, let alone everything else.

      Not saying you don't have a point, just saying it isn't necessarily purely a money grab. Only partly?

      • Drakesy on 01/08/2022 - 16:02

        containers haven't gone up by $10k….

        Yes they went up, but not by $10k
        In fact they're rapidly returning to where they were before.

        • ESEMCE on 01/08/2022 - 16:22

          In AUD it's close enough…
          I'm paying around US$7k at the moment, but this is the cheapest part of the year and we're heading into the expensive part of the year, where I will not be surprised to be paying US$10k.
          October-December last year was up around US$12k

          Historically USD$2k was around the mark, so US$7k is hardly close to "returning to where they were".
          So we're up US$5k = AU$7.2 but levelised across the past 12 mo0nths, AU$10k extra/container is probably about right.

          Shipping charges are also factored into the value of goods and therefore the Import Duty and GST you pay as an importer.

            @ESEMCE: I agree it's still quite excessive, but the ridiculous prices are a thing of the past as supply chains catch up.

              @Drakesy:

              but the ridiculous prices are a thing of the past as supply chains catch up.

              If you're not in the International Supply Chain business, then you're dreaming.
              If you are in the business, then you're the most optimistic person in the business. Everyone I talk to think that prices will remain high until at least after CNY 2023.

              I have no reason to think they're wrong and you're right.
              I'm still seeing multiple weeks in shipping delays which mean the wharves are not catching up and we're only 6 weeks away from Golden Week peak shipping which is historically when shipping delays bite even in "normal" years. So this will just make the current delays worse and prices will rise as demand outstrips supply in available shipping capacity.

              Note that Factory Output is not and has not been the problem for a while now.
              But International Shipping is in all sorts of trouble and the Shipping lines are making mint while providing crap service so they have no great desire to decrease prices any time soon.

                @ESEMCE: So my take is
                Bunker fuel is coming back to reasonable levels - one of the biggest costs
                Wharves such as Shanghai are quickly catching up - again, purely covid shutdown related.
                Panama canal isn't clogged up.

                The rest of the world is largely uninhibited as far as trade is concerned

                • ESEMCE on 02/08/2022 - 08:22
                  +1

                  @Drakesy: So your "take" just proves you have no idea here;

                  • BAF (the fuel surcharge) is literally a fraction of the cost of shipping a container. It's around 10% of the shipping cost, USD$6-700 at current rates. It's slowly decreasing, but not going away quite yet. Even if it did, prices would remain sky high.
                    My shipping prices mentioned above are before BAF by the way… It's not something I consider in my long term cost tracking because of the variability.

                  • Wharves such as Shanghai were behind before the lockdown, so got even further behind in the 60 odd days they lost (despite most freight going out through other ports) and yeah they might be catching up, but containers are still sitting there for 2-3 weeks and as mentioned above we're heading into the busy season when even in normal times they don't keep up.
                    Every hour's delay means more and more vessels sitting idle off the coast instead of moving, which has been and remains the major issue in International Shipping.
                    These delayed vessels are reducing the moving volume of goods. Therefore creating a reduced supply of moving volume which results in increased prices to move volume as Demand exceeds Supply.

                  • Panama Canal doesn't (directly) impact the vast majority of Australian routes.

                  There continue to be delays at destination ports as Stevedores and Road and Rail Freight crews are impacted by sickness.
                  And finally, the MUA still hasn't resolved it's Industrial dispute from 2020 AFAIK and they know when to time their Industrial Action… through the busiest time of year in September-November.

                      @Drakesy: Happy to update and review the direction of Container prices with you in 4 weeks time.
                      By your reckoning, they'll be well on their way back down to US$2000/40HQ, I reckon we'll be going past US$8500 into the East Coast and well past US$9000 to West Coast ex Shanghai (plus BAF).

                      This is one of those "bets" I kinda hope to lose… Winning isn't good news for me, even if it proves me right.

                        Kudos to you, shipping prices are slightly down.

                        my August average 40HQ was around US$7200+BAF
                        my September average 40HQ was around US$6900+BAF

                        More importantly shipping times are down significantly, so now I can agree that prices are likely to continue to drop.

                      @Drakesy: Just had a meeting with one my Freight Forwarders.
                      They informed me that the BAF was going UP, not down! (go figure)

                      They also said that Shipping prices are still going down, but my most recent quotes from their competitor through this week have been $100-200 higher than in previous weeks on generally comparable routes. Not enough to call it, but an inkling.
                      They're also trying to win more of my business, so might be reducing their take to sweeten me up.

      • Brianqpr on 02/08/2022 - 09:50

        This is one of the problems with current inflation and the constant talking about it in the media.

        Price rises will obviously have to happen to some extent due to increased transport costs. However, many businesses see an opportunity to add a bit of fat on top and increase the profit margin, purely because everyone is talking about inflation so it becomes an expectation. That makes inflation worse and increases the problem. Sadly greed gets in the way of most things working as well as they should.

        While I think the RBA is going a bit too hard and may ultimately send us backwards, part of their reasoning is to try to nip this sort of profiteering in the bud by reducing/killing demand.

    Be very careful about doing research on what fits if you're going to a Bridgestone shop to get these fitted (the serenity plus is not available to any other shops/mechanics AFAIK). They are not trained properly.

    The guy at my local Bridgestone tried to fit dangerously small tyres on my car, like literally half the width and thickness of a sane size, and refused to budge. This was even after I booked the appointment with Bridgestone online for the specific size, model, and price. Illegal & dangerous bait'n'switch.

      The one and only time I went to a Bridgestone store (in GC) to get tyres fitted, they really tried hard to get me to let them fit non-standard width tyres because standard width tyres for my car were out of stock. I declined and never went back - but this doesn’t mean every other store would be the same.

      Following the trend of economic inflation, the cost of importing/exporting has also increased, and as you may know, Bridgestone Tyres are mostly made in Thailand/Vietnam. An increase in the cost of manufacturing, import/export costs, and other business costs really add up. The company isn't just going to cop the increase in prices, they have to offset it somehow, so eventually, the customer gets the blow.

      Painful, I know, but that's just how the world works now.

    • Rail Rider95 on 01/08/2022 - 16:26

      What’s more, is that the RE003 is a lot lower in performance compared to other tyres on the market now.

        • lomie on 02/08/2022 - 16:11

          It's quiet but as with any road tyre, the road noise will depend on the road surface material. Roads around Adelaide are getting resurfaced and the tyres are very quiet on these new surfaces. On coarse bitumen, it is loud. But that is the same with most road passenger tyres.

    Buying tyres is like any other high-cost purchase nowadays where you have to shop around, haggle, and question fake discounts.

    $220 for RE003 225/45/17. $660 for a set.
    2 years ago I paid $540 a set.
    22% increase.

    MyCar offer a price beat so whatever you can find (including this deal) its worth speaking to their call centre before you pull the trigger elsewhere.

    If you choose one of their 'selected' brands they also include their Tyre Care Plan which is well worth bonus, including a free rotation after six (6) months.

    I found a buy three get one free deal recently for Bridgestone's, they beat that deal then offered me Pirelli's at the same discounted price which was included in the Tyre Care Plan..

    Prices surely have gone up quick. Had a puncture Monday and was quoted $55 to repair it. First thought was don't bother when you can get that size tyre brand new from $100… Except it's no longer that price on closer inspection. I'm looking at $150+ compared to 3 years ago

    How often does Bridgestone run this deal?

      This is the question you should ask Bridgestone directly, not us here.

    Anyone here use tyresales? I just got an offer of spend $800 get $100 back on my Amex and they're offering the Buy 3 get 1 free…

    4x 245/40/18 RE003's for $885 fitted with alignment comes down to $785 with the cashback offer.
