£300 a corner. With 10 sets I should hope not!!! £1275 in main stealer, so should be considerably less.

Not sure. It will be around 40kg (10kg each tyre? x4) Im guessing. Try and get a price for that weight.

In terms of size add the 4 together, its cheaper than sending 4x parcels. :wink:

bryce
09-02-2009, 12:19 PM
First bid, based on 9 full sets...

(225 x 2) + (326 x 2) = £1102 inclusive

235/35 + 265/30's, right?

Got quote from local bmw dealer Grassicks, £1200 inc VAT exc delivery, they can normally beat all local tyre dealers. but don't do all lot of volume on cups (possible due to roads never being dry here)

Mark CSL
19-02-2009, 06:45 PM
I got another price from my m8 he ownes his own garage and gets a great
deal on tyres but not on cups :hahaha:
The prices below are for him to buy in nothing added on top
So it looks like the days when you could get cups for £950 are long gone.

Rear £318.18 +vat each
Front £217.81 +vat each

Total £933.20+vat = £1073.18

some news from france:

i had to change my tyres for my next trackday (Magny cours on march), ask some friends (retailers) and the best price was just under 1.400 €, not a good idea with the change rate (about 1.200 pounds)

the normal retail price is about 1.800 € in france....sometimes there is a good deal (just look at this: http://www.norauto.fr/catalogue/Recherche/Pneus.html?Cho0=TP0001&Lar1=265&Hau2=30&Dia3=R19&cha4=charge&vit5=Y&Usa6=TU0003&Mar7=Mrq311&nocache=0.6656764985757093 ).

Got this email from Michelin

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your recent e-mail.
We have allocated your message the reference number indicated within the title. If you need to contact us again regarding your message, we would be grateful if you could include the reference number.
We don't sell tyres directly to the public and therefore we would suggest contacting a retail outlet to see if they can offer you a favourable deal. Our Pilot Sport Cup tyre is normally sold through a couple of tyre dealers that have a presence at 'track' events. They are Protyre Motorsport telephone 01782 411001 and SE tyres 01376 347452. This said, the BMW CSL has the Sport Cups fitted as original equipment and therefore can be sauced through any tyre distributor.

Once again thank you for your interest in Michelin.

Yours sincerely
Webmaster.

My guy is back tomorrow so I'll see what I can do.

Are those prices just supply, so +P&P and +fitting?

Still no reply from Simpsons...but i did get the impression that it was of much interest to them to be honest.

Protyre are only up the road from me andthey dont do deals! :banghead:

I've used Protyre for about five years and they've always been very keen prices ... never tried to get further 'bulk discounts' though.
Good bunch o' lads :thumbs:

Sorry guys, £1200 a set is the best he can get! :119:

He's just mentioned that Mich generally don't give wholesalers the best prices as they prefer to deal with specialists. So... anyone know a specialist?

Andy, Simpson Motorsport use Protyre. As Mark found out, they are the official importer for Michelin Cups, so everyone else's supply comes through them and if they aren't doing deals, nobody else is either.

Ant mentioned to me it was probably better to have approached them first as the official importer and as they are probably getting several enquiries around a bulk order of 10 sets from all the tyre companies contacted and detailed in this thread. I'm fairly sure they have already but 2+2 together and realise they have cornered us on price now.

my cups last year at Llandow were a real mess and even though not new were a mess by the time we had finished the day:bigcry:

it is quite abrasive there OR the tarmac gets the tyres particularily hot!

I'm certainly still up for these Roland.

I will be out at the Ring on 2/3 May but i would need to be able to have them fitted out there as i will be bringing my track wheels out with me. Do you know of any fitting shop that can do this locally in Adenau or elsewhere?

Thanks :thumbs:

I will have a set no problem but i'm not sure when i'm going to the ring so unless someone can bring them back for me or i pay extra to get them shipped to the UK i'm gonna have to pass.

If anyone is taking a estate car/truck etc and would bring back cups please let me know. :thumbs:
