CUPS Group Buy

[Mike R]

Can you not twist their arm to stick with the original offer they made - verbal contract / offer and acceptance and all that ?

Tried that, all down to tyre price fixing.

I hope Michelin understand how much face they have lost by doing this. I think they should be "sent to Coventry" on the Munich trip - nobody should talk to them and tell them to "do one" regarding the interview .

When they then whinge about it, saying "But you said you would", retaliate with, "And you said you would sort the tyres out for a good price ."

What comes around needs to go around .

Yes, Yes and Yes ! Michelin have shown themselves in a really poor light petty & greedy all in one and actually lost sales as a result.
They had a guaranteed £10,000 in the bag from our 10 sets 'Group buy' and let it fall apart over £2K difference ... not to mention the bad press that'll follow IMHO Major Fopaux
Which Business school did they go to ?

At the very LEAST, it needs to be got across to them what a bad taste this has left with the forum members.

My Square set up on 19's is sitting on brand new Goodyear Eagle F1's Assy II when they should be cups

This is tempting me to not come with my new cups but with other wheels.

Edit : the trackday won't happen anyhow

Edit2 : I always find it interesting how companies do not want to spend money for events. It annoys me. It seems that the only company spending money is RedBull !

How embarrassing is that for Michelin - cars turning up on other manufacturer's tyres because they reneged on the deal !

I can get 4 fronts for £210 each if any interest to people.
