Pretty hard to get over here. I tried ringing Panaracer and they gave me some shop names but none actually sold them. I ended up getting mine mail order from CRC. Make sure you get the higher TPI version! Oh and let me know if you are putting an order in at CRC
Well worth the wait, brilliant tyres.
...at home. Probably got 100km or so on it. Switched it out when I moved over from the UK. Call me if you interested.
Gday
Turns out there's no OZ importers of Panaracer
So looks like i'm up for a CRC order, got a few things i'm after
PM me if your up for anything, hopefully get free freight

Hi Pieboy,
you are doing the right thing chasing these tyres, I love them, always have.
I'm also up for a CRC order, will PM you now.
Panaracer is part of Panasonic and is Japanese. In Australia, they don't have a large presence amongst MTBers probably due to lack of promotion by the importer. Also because they don't seem to be attached to big name riders.
They are imported into Australia by a company called BikeSportz which is headquartered in Melbourne. This is the same firm that brings us BBB, Minoura, Bianchi, Campagnolo, KMC chains and Lazer helmets to mention just a few of their brands.
So for anyone that wants a Panaracer tyre, stroll into a shop that obtains products from BikeSportz and ask 'em to order you your favourite one.
