Group Buy: Bridgestone RE 55's

[Al]

I have spoken to Meridian Motorsport (same suppliers as the "Group Buy: oil cooler kits") about purchasing a set of RE 55's, for road/track use. Markis has shown particular interest in supporting SAU and has offered a 10% discount. This particular pattern is avaliable in 4 different componds, to suit your requirements.

So far the prices i have are listed below, depending on the number of people interested, the prices MAY go lower.

1/ 235 x 45 x 17: Meridian Motorsport price $351

2/ 255 x 40 x 17: Meridian Motorsport price $360

3/ 265 x 35 x 18: Meridian Motorsport price $520

I have contacted Trackside and the best prices he provided were;

1/ $390

2/ $400

Meridian Motorsport is also happy to ship interstate for the required p&h fee.

NOTE: If anyone is able to get better prices, from a reliable business, please feel free to post up prices and contact details.

Gordon Levin Tyres in NSW are SAU NSW Club sponsors, and can quite comprehensively beat those prices

Alan, it would definitely be worthwhile to ring up Gordon Levin, ask to speak to Bill Pearson or Gordon Levin (don't talk to any of the other staff working there, they don't know about the sponsorship deal the boss has made with us) and see what prices he can do for you.

e.g. 265/35/18s for about $460

I read the oil cooler thread and noted the prices... You're getting a small discount off RETAIL price for these group buys, you should be pushing for TRADE price

Any questions, PM me!

Andrew.

edit: Make sure you note what compounds you're dealing with too... the RE55s have something like 5 different compounds and the "WT2" wets are ridiculously sticky but only last 1 or 2 trackdays... You want the hardest "SR" endurance compound ones to make them cost effective... They're still extremely sticky, but last a fair bit longer than the wets, as you can imagine

Thanks for the post Andrew, will be getting in tough soon.
