news on tyres? mt or rc.
 
some people are getting a bit concerned about the outstanding tyres issues. any news on these. u2u if you want.

Vote was in favour of the proposal but as some of you have deals set up aslready it would be unfair to penalise you. We are looking into options that will suit all. As the people who voted "Yes" obviously want us to sort them a deal can they ask their mates who may not have voted to do it even at this late stage so that we have a better idea of potential tyre quantities required by them overall.

Hope its not a table leg end, could end up with the dog p*ssing up it, still it would give you lot some time off.

Great tyre deal coming the way of you peeps who wanted us to sort it. Should be an email with you all by this afternoon.:frog::frog::frog:

Good idea, will bring it up at the next MTM, perhaps a job for the new commercial manager ?

Couple of years ago I (personally) bought and paid for a batch of tyres from a dealer in Witney thinking that it would help our club members. Spent a couple of grand (of my own money before anyone kicks off !!!), collected them and stored them in the dark at my factory. Took ages to get rid and they were popular sizes and a popular make.

I think it is down to the logistics in a way; not so good for people to buy tyres via the post as they then need to get them fitted, normally this negates the saving at least to some extent.

I'm sure that Grahame will have general tyre discounts with a variety of potential outlets on his list of "things to do" but will, as stated, bring it up at the MTM and take it upon myself to report back to you afterwards.

Does that make any sense ?

skidlids 09-Mar-2006 10:50

Makes sence to me
By any chance was It Witney Tyres with Dave Wiiliams and Colin

Prices aren't to bad, been there a few times

£125 for a pair of EVO MTR22

Paul James 09-Mar-2006 11:04

Can't recall Skids but they must have been cheap at the time for a tight git like me to travel all that way :D:D

Maybe I should clarify that I didn't buy the batch of tyres for any personal gain, it was for the benefit of members. I actually made a financial loss but it was an interesting exercise.

Glyn 09-Mar-2006 22:42

well done that man!!
