Peter, before you commit to buy Avons through their NZ "agent" I would contact some of the Avon retailers in the US (or in the UK) and see how much they are to buy there because there is some evidence that us colonial dwellers often pay through the nose for products which cost a lot less in the UK or USA.
Just an example, I recently bought a diagnostic tool for my Landrover Discovery 3 from a UK Britpart agent, couriered to my door for $450. The local Australian Britpart agent quoted me $770, and they had to order it from the UK anyway.
I could tell you some stories about Mercedes parts pricing in Australia which beggar belief!
Just one other thing - a 215/75R15 could be an even better fit than a 215/70R15(closer to the original fitted tire height). I discovered this is a common tire size because a lot of smaller SUV/4WD vehicles use them. The challenge of course is to find one that has a reasonable looking tread as many of them are quite chunky.
