easytigrrr Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, spent a couple hours scouring the world wide web, why are trials tyres so expensive in the uk? Does anybody know of somwhere in the uk where you can buy new tyres at a non ripoff prices, or get then shipped in from the United states or europe. Thanks in advance.

nigel dabster Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 $120 plus sales tax say $8 $128is only a good price because of the exchange rate, so that just doesnt hold up. Costco in the uk is the cheapest place unless you regularily buy from a local dealer I doubt you will better their price. Our club did a bulk buy with a local wholesaler and that brought the price down but not enough to make a difference. The differential in makes in the usa are all down to the irc and dunlop being less popular I assume. The prices in France are the same (afaik) so the choice is yours.
