Feeler for Tire group-buy **UPDATE**

[roycehof]

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

so i got a e-mail back from the guy today, he says he can get any amount, but they would cost $40 each, sorry to waste everyones time, and get you worked up. i know why he quoted me 26 if he can't produce then for that.

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!!!

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?

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.

not yet I don't! But I'll accept your praise if I can get us cheap tires!!!

[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!

would you be willing to buy 50-100 tires? That's about the smallest order I'll be able to get...
