Feeler for Tire group-buy **UPDATE**

[Safety Guy]

They still have all kinds of "weird" tire sizes in Europe for all their tiny sized cars they still sell.

I'm jones'n for some 185/55-13s meself. Or some 185/50-14s. Just wishing out loud...

Hmmm, "The European Connection." Sounds exciting!

145SR12 and 155SR12 are still common tire sizes in Europe.

the wholesaler I'm talking with deals in the Euro market, which is why I think I might be able to get something decent.

I just heard that the Smart Car has 12" tires. I have not verified this yet. With this said, wouldn't that mean that 12" tire production would start back up to some degree?

[FordFestiva]

I understand once a tire is manufactured, the shelf life is only nine years. I thought I should mention this for whomever plans on buying and storing tires.

A+ for Effort!!!

Jim or Cubstiva,

I would be interested in definately two and possibly four (if it helps knock down the price) at mid $20 to the low $30 price range. I think these sizes are getting hard to find and even 13 inch rims with the original Festiva bolt pattern is no picnic to find either. Thanks for including the group in this effort.

Sincerely,
Royce

we're STILL waiting on our 12" stimulus package!!

you know, that almost sounds like a porno title...

[spiko]

If anyone can get a serious group buy together it's Jim! Thanks again for trying to get this off the ground!

[FB71]

yeah, sorry guys. I was a little cranky last night.

Y'all will know a price as soon as I do.

[Safety Guy]

I thought he was just egging you on Jim.

So why DON'T you have any prices yet, anyway? It's been a whole day or two and we're STILL waiting on our 12" stimulus package!!

Instant gratification...INSTANT GRATIFICATION...I-N-S-T-A-N-T--G-R-A-T-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!!

Work on that instant gratification mode, Jim!!
