HA/GR organization ????

What brand of tyre you running Drewfus, and what do they cost each in Aussie?? ....... We get shafted here.

 

L78.

Cost....they retail here for something like $(aussie) 350 each eek, but we talked with Antique tyres who recognised our HAMB alliance and gave us a discount.....plus we bought bulk (something like 8 sets of tyres), so that helped a bit.

For some of us, they're the most expensive parts on our cars.....having said that, I look at them as being as important part of the car, after all, they're the key element putting the power to the ground, so worth the investment.

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

OK thanks but what was the tyre brand name? Coker / Firestone ???

 

Those crazy Dunlop vintage racin' tires maybe?

 

Speed Merchants and several of the US teams use Coker brand. We bought ours before the discount, but they weren't too expensive. We use the G78 size. They're a bit shorter, but almost the same width.

 

Yeah seems like the Aussies get shafted too, $350 Aussie dollars is a lot to pay for a tire which is listed at $112. US dollars BEFORE the Alliance discount.
The black walls are even cheaper at $103.
Cokers NZ agent...in my own home town..wont even answer his phone let alone quote me a price.
Shipping is not that expensive , US $100/cubic meter or less from West coast.
I will do the right thing and join the alliance and ship my own.

 

Randy (Rand Man),
I got the pictures and info on the HA/GR cars and they are perfect. I posted a "thank you" on here but I must have screwed it up again cause it doesn't seem to be here. Anyway, you did a great job and I certainly appreciate the effort.
