Alternatively, has anyone arranged for tyres directly from the US? I don't need them in a huge hurry.

Hi Dino, i have a C3 and ordered my tyres 8 weeks ago from www.tirerack.com but unfortunately i have been unlucky with my order due to the the following fact; all good year factories in the us and canada are on strike so the message reads the followinf from the supplier
"G'day. I am afraid we have run into a problem and I was waiting anotherweek or 2 for the resolution before I called you. Most of the Goodyearfactories in the US and Canada are currently on strike so I am not surewhen these will be delivered here. We just checked with them today andthere is no end in site. Perhaps you would consider another tire inthat same size?"
Well can not say that is going happen to you if you order from the states but at least you know with Good year is NO GO for now ;30

I think we have the same problem no matter what tyre we run!! :b2 :evil
Is any C4 owner out there happy with the tyre they are running?? If so - please share!

Michelin Pilots are good, can be pretty luny with them, even in the wet. They are quite progressive mostly, but on some surfaces when they let go (when running hard) they will really let go. I believe tyre pressure is critical to reading the surface you are running on as they do heat up. Oran Park at easter I found they became more and more squirmy as they warmed up. Someone told me I had started on too low pressure at 35psi all round. Ofcourse running into the first corner after the main straight too hot was the only real time they got out of shape.;--

;51 I also have Michelon Pilot Sports......the best tyres....(and they look great too!). but are very pricey:
at US$281 for 275's..or US$322 for 285s PER TYRE.... ;30
thats why Ive chosen Goodyear Eagle F1, GS-D3's.
