Based on the exchange rates the Diablos we paid £140 for last year should be costing us around £168 this year, so Holbeach doing them at £160 is in fact a better deal than last year, its not their fault there is a recession on and we all have a little less money to spare.
Still at least Diesel is still cheaper than at one point last year and doesn't appear a factor in people driving over to Angelsey to do a trackday that probably cost more than it did last year, so they cam wear out some tyres that can barely afford

Diesel free ... part of my job is i use the van for personal use.

Do you really think i can afford that.......

We are lucky holbeach are with NE this year as THEY tried to get their nose in the thundersport paddock ............
Oh well
£136 free postage link i posted helped some out
I wont bother in future............

Here the problem:

IF everyone committed/or was required to buying tyres from supplier X, a control tyre, from a control supplier, said supplier could offer a better deal.

BUT as everyone, has a preffered supplier/sponsor/mate who they want to get tyres from it cant/wont happen.

Holbeach are offering a service just like everyone else, use them if you want, or use your own supplier, it is a free market. You don't see www.cheapandeasytyres.co.uk at the racetrack though.
