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

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

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

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?

I think we need to call it a day. Ive spoken to a dozen and they are similar price for 10x sets.

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.

That would answer that then.....

Daz, still up for the CSLRegister armed robbery idea? Perhaps we should group buy on spud guns for the job!

SMD · 25-02-2009, 10:23 AM

I rang Protyre as tho are only up the road!

£1345 a set!

He says might do a little off if we buy 10 sets! I asked if he could do £500 off each set!
