Viper Tire Group Buy - Is there such a thing?

[DAMN YANKEE]

Are prices any better for a large group buy? Or is there no real margin?
Would others be interested?

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I could probably use some front tires if it would help get a group buy going

lol.. talk to Jon B from PartsRack.com , he'll get you $5 off each tire from Tire rack. Otherwise, never heard of a group buy on tire..

[DAMN YANKEE]

I'm in as well for a set of fronts and one rear.

 

[plumcrazy]

im in for at least a set of fronts if not rears too.

keep me posted

 

[propsail]

I'd be in for a full set, front and rears.

[Donuts4me9]

i could use a full set dependant on price

 

[ViperNM]

Full set if the price is right!

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

THAT IS 24 TIRES SO FAR, LETS SEE HOW MANY WE CAN COME UP WITH AND THEN WE'LL GO SHOPPING

[crazyspeed]

I'm in

 

[syclone1157]

4 please.

 

[JUCD VPR]

I'll take 2 REAR BFG DRAG RADIALS, if the price is right. BUT i need them in 1 week!

 

[plumcrazy]

maybe a thread should be started in the SRT section on this site too.

might get more people involved

Also, you might want to start an offical group buy thread in "Tire , Wheel, Brake and Suspension" section and let either Luke or JonB fix y'all up!

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

Folks,

Lets see if we can clarify this a bit. I was driving toward a huge tire purchase of the stock replacement tires:

P275/35ZR18 - Michelin Pilot Sport C1
P335/30ZR18 - Michelin Pilot Sport C1

We all have to agree to that FIRST.

So far the list of those interested at the right price (and that would be a great price, or why would we bother?) is:

NAME FRONT REAR
DAMN YANKEE 2 1
V10SpeedLuvr 2 0
plumcrazy 2 2 (MAYBE)
propsail 2 2
Donuts4me9 2 2
ViperNM 2 2
crazyspeed 2 2
syclone1157 2 2

Nobody is commited to anything as of yet EXCEPT making sure they are on the list and for the right number of tires. When it gets serious and we have a great price, the work and money issue will start.

I have a Gen 1 so 18's" would be too big for me, so you can cross me off. Good luck though!

 

[plumcrazy]

id be interested in 18" pilot sports for the front and PS2's in 19 for the rears if available.

 

[snampro]

18" isn't stock for everyone, just 99 to 02

 

[pdmracing]

4 17's

 

[CaptainDavid]

Put me down for a set of rears P335/30ZR18 - Michelin Pilot Sport C1
I can wait a short time. Having fun not worrying about my current rears
lots of smoke from time to time
Out

How I miss the days of Tireracks $180 per tire sellout....

Ahh yes -- the good old days. Rears actually got down to $138 or $139 for a very brief period.

[propsail]

I need 17's for my gen 1, so it doesn't work for me, either.~Craig

 

[Adam]

I need a set of rear 17's as well

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

Not enough response....we better let this one go.

 

[plumcrazy]

there are a ton of tires needed in this thread of various size. i gotta think ONE tire place or JonB would do something

 

[mad0953]

Yankee, give it a little time. It's Christmas and all and some of us don't think about their cars 99% of the time....unlike me. I would buy a new set of 18's if the price was right.

 

[JonB]

Group buy? Start with buying a semi-trailer or rail-car load in ONE BRAND, shipped to ONE location, paid in advance. Who will handle the $$ ? You can get a bulk rate OFF MSRP PRICES, but you still WONT beat the PartsRack / TireRack offers, shipped to your door. Those prices are based on truk/rail loads!

No offense intended, but this thread is a total time-waster-pipe-dream.



JonA thanks for the plug, but PartsRack is actually $10 off per tire, and $50 off per set. Street Tires only. Race tires and DOT- slicks have about a $12 total profit margin...so we can only save you $10/set.

 

[JonB]

Are prices any better for a large group buy? Or is there no real margin?

Yankee, you hit it: The discounts off MSRP are already HUGE at TireRack / PartsRack.

I see you need THREE tires ?? That could be unsafe....we do have some USED tires that might better match your used 4th tire..

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

Got a new 4th ready to go...thanks though.
