CUPS Group Buy - Page 3

billyboysm3 · 14-05-2013, 02:42 PM

UPDATE:
This has turned into a nightmare. Michelin have gone back on their word on the tyre prices and will not give me (us) a group discount as the previous prices. Frankie from ATS has also tried for us as they gave her the discounted prices. I was going to buy a couple of extras to make up the 10. So 40 tyres ordered in one go.

Tyre dates for cups from ATS are 24th May for front and 17th May for rears.

I told them that most will not order at these prices as they are the same as camskill.

Fronts 235 35 19 = £242.81
Rears 265 30 19 = £326.69

I'm not in the tyre game but i would say that they dont want these going out the door to cheap.

looks like im keeping my 18 inch rims and ordering 4 265 35 18 for 1k when really wanted to run square set up on the 19's on cups.

Those prices are now more expensive than from Camskill

No chance of finding a German distributor willing to deal direct with us?

Possible, 10 sets is easily achievable.

Not many will need them for trip as Salzburg cancelled, I am now changing mine back to raod tyres for trip and saving the cups for SPA in July

24th for fronts is too late, but I may take a set of rears. Most likely will not make trip on cups now the track day is cancelled.

Thanks for all your effort billy.

BIG THANX for trying to put this together Billy

And there was me thinking Michelin were here to help us celebrate the 10th Anniversary in style

IMHO these look like " F**K Off " prices

so Michelin can have their Logo stickers back

Ive tried again this morning to get these prices BUT I am not stopping till we get them.

Sadly will be on normal tyres for trip.

Ill tell you all about it after a few pints in Munich.

UPDATE:

Mike from Michelin kindly sent through the original order I placed.

So ATS have 12 fronts and 16 rears CUPS in stock in branch now..

Sadly the prices are non negotiable and the best is a £50 fuel voucher.

Frankie has to send these back to Michelin by the end of next week so if you do want any please call Frankie on 01223 454640 - mention CSL Register or me Billy.

I know Camskill are cheaper but these are the only CUPS in the UK at the moment thanks to Mike.
