Feeler for Tire group-buy **UPDATE**

[Safety Guy]

The GEM low speed city vehicle runs 12" tires, but the shop where they were sold is now closed. There are probably other electrics that use our size but they are probably imported just for the factories and dealers to use.

it's ok, I'm still waiting on a price...

[FB71]

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.

I would definitely be in for one set. BTW, what brand are these? Kumho's?

If this was last year i would buy some, but I have changed my festivas to 13's because of poor availability of the 12's.

I would say start taking deposits for every set of tires now, have a deadline set. That way you know who is serious and how many sets of tires are expected to be purchased.

That's my thought as well, but i want to wait till near June before I start. The poll is just to get an idea.

that's one of two downsides;

1/ i don't know what brand(s) will be available
2/ I don't have a committed price, but I'm trying to wrangle sub-$30

I hope they are Hercules or Kumho's. But, I guess beggars can't be choosers. I would try and stay away from the Vee Rubber Company tires.

probably Hercs or Nankangs

Nankangs would work, too.
