Why no tire group buys?

I figured I'd put this in the lounge, since only supporting vendors can make threads in the gp section. but how come there are never any tire group purchases? everyone needs tires... why not?

(hint, i need tires)

Compared to a lot of other car parts, the markup on tires isn't nearly as much (from places like discount or the tire rack, at least) because of the large volume flow. For instance, the tire rack has a wholesale booklet available to large volume purchasers, and the difference is only maybe 5-10% from retail prices usually.

Not true, members can make new threads there. Moving there now.

There have been tire GPs/sales in the past.

If you want to talk about what tires to choose, try the Wheel and TIRE section.

As Jason said, there is not a lot of room to discount tires. Some brands more so than others. However, if you want a quote, email us at sales@fasttoys.net and we can see what we can do. Please be sure to include the brand, size you want and your address so we can give you a quote.

Thanks
