    Poll - Better tyre pricing

    Hi Guys

    Been thinking about this for a while now and with some of the contacts I have in the tyre world, thought it was about time we put a case forward for a better deal on tyre supply for our Prados.

    I figure that with around 2000 members and I would probably guess that in excess of 95% of these are based in Oz, we should have a good case for some buying power.

    I am prepared to make the approaches on behalf of Pradopoint but don't want to do this if the members disagree.
    We need to gauge acceptance from members and in doing this it would be a good idea to specify the manufacturers who need to be approached.
    Obviously the main contenders will be Mickey Thompson, Cooper, Goodyear, Pirelli, Bridgestone and Dunlop and I can enter discussions with them all to see what can be on offer. I take offence to the fact that both MT and Cooper try and dictate the selling prices of their tyres to the industry.

    So what do you think?

        Sounds like a great idea..

        I'm surprised we don't have sponsors on this forum, it'd be a great way to keep the site maintained and for great deals.

              I voted for Cooper as my recent research has leaned slighty in there favour. looking to upgrade to 285's in 6-12mths so definate interest here

                Even though I have never owned a set of coopers, I would probably lean that way since they make them in a legal size for our state.

                  I voted for Goodyear (but Silent Armors not MTRs) and in 265/70R17 size. I have them already and are very happy with them, but need to get new tyres and would like a good deal. BFG T/A's are coming second at this stage, although it will probably come down to price (doesn't it always). :roll:

                    Only recently gone the BFG's ... and I'm hooked.

                    Great road tyre ... especially in WA's recent wet.

                    Great trail tyre ... and we've hit a couple of real beautys recently.

                    Great mud tyre ... they may not be mtz's .. but they never got left behind like some of the others. :lol: :lol:

                    Luv 'em.

                    Cheers

                            While your at it, why not petition to get 265/65R17 in LT construction?
