Feeler for Tire group-buy **UPDATE**

[FB71]

Hey folks,

I may have the opportunity to purchase a large number of 155SR12 tires from a wholesaler. How many of you folks would be interested in participating, and what would you be willing to pay per tire? I'm not looking to make money on the deal, I just need to know if I should move forward with the deal after I get a price per tire from the wholesaler.

UPDATE;

ok, I cornered my source today... bad and good news.

Bad;
We'll have to wait till June to get the best possible price.

Good;
He thinks we can get a really good price, especially if we buy at least 100-150 tires.

So, who would be in? Is there enough interest to warrant me buying that many tires?
Basically, I don't want to lay out $4000 for 150 tires, and then be forced to sit on them because everyone backed out.

Get us a price. I have one that needs tires.

i'd go in for 3 full sets and 2 spares (14 total)

[Pu241]

1 full set(4 tires) here if price is good say 30 to $40, less is better!

I'd consider a set...If the price was right...it be worth the trip to MD.
Last time I bought tires...I spent about three hours on the web and phone. I can be to Baltimore in less time.
I currently have a set of Nankangs w/6K on them...I'll be lucky to get 15K out of them.

not to steal your thread, but i recently bought a festiva from a manager of a discount tire store. he said he would be able to get me tires for $26 each. hes in Columbus ohio, i thought about letting everyone know before ohiotiva and maybe doing a group deal. either ways cool with me, just want to get everyone a good deal on tires.

One full set to get mounted and possibly one set as a spare set. I would like to see the price around $30/tire if possible.

I need a set of 4. In the $30's per tire.

I've had that experiance more than once. The counter person looks at the computer screen for the initial info. Apperently it does't show stock because upon further pursuit of the deal they find they are not available. Bummer. Did you ask I they can actualy get you a set? It would be cool if so. I definatly be in!

[cubstiva1]

the reason i asked was cause the car had new 12 inch kumos, and i told hiim i couldn't find them anywhere and asked about cost. he said they where about 50 each in ohio, and that he had gotten these for 20, and could get them to me for about 26. i sent him an e-mail today, we'll see where it goes from there.

[cubstiva1]

got a e-mail replay asking how many tires we might want and that he'd check tomorrow on how many he could get. i replied at least 40 tires. i'm not sure if you can order 40 tires and not have anybody notice the huge discount you are selling them at, but we'll see how it plays out.

At $26 each, I may be interested in another set!

Now, how many 155-12s will fit into a Festiva? Dave and I may be able to deliver to Ohiostiva.

he said he could get as many as needed, so after i here from him tomorrow, i'll try to get a number for him. but we've got time. no rush.

Karl, that would be awesome! we'll see.

I would be interested in two sets (8) if the price is right. Would these have to be shipped? What brand?

Two sets = eight tires. Not sure how this smiley is coming up, but I am not trying to be shady in any way.

I am still in the market for 13" x114.3mm rims, but would keep my 12" rims and tires for the winter. The other set would be for the party who bought my old '91 L.

Depending on the brand I'd be interested in a set.
