Primo Comet tyres/tires, where to buy?

My favourite tyre is the Primo Comet, but lamentably hard to find in Australia. I can find so9me online from the US but postage is just stupidly expensive.

I am looking for 451 size, that is 20 x 1-3/8", preferably the Kevlar belted type.

Any help?

It looks like Niagara will charge about $25 (the cheapest rate) to ship two tires to Australia. I used postal code 4124 in Queensland just to get the rate.


Sheesh, I checked Bicycle Superstore in Australia and they don't seem all that super. They only sell tyres, not tires and their 20" selection is rather limited.

Niagra Cycles is a good company.

What tires are available in Australia? Power Blocks and DTHs both come in 20 x 1 3/8".
