Anyone want to buy some tyres with me?

Postby Andrew G » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:16 pm

Just had an email from Ribble with very good offers on Michelin Pro2Race and the new Pro3Race.
Pro2Race at £16.65 each and Pro3Race at £22.95, but with orders over £50 at Easter you get an extra 10% off. This brings the Pro3Race down to £20.66 each.

I'd like to get a pair of Pro3Race for racing but need someone else to buy to get the extra 10% off and the reduced price, anybody want to get a pair? I'll buy and then I can deliver the tyres (so long as you don't too far away) and get a cheque off you.

Any takers?

Pity there's only grey available so far... but I'll go for a pair of Race3's with you at that price.

Okee dokee Ivor, I'll order 2 pairs and we can exchange tyres/cheque at the next TT if you like. Are you doing the SCCU sporting weekend, 10 or 25, or both. I'm down for both.

i have a pair of yellow and black Pro Race 2s from when coloured tyres were briefly fashionable - back in the mid 2000s

actually they might be Pro Race 1s - I'll check

anyone want them for nothing?

Am I too late? If not, I could use some Pro Race 2s at that price.

I'll have a pair of 3s too - if like Lord Ingram I'm not too late like.....

Cheers - Snoop

PS - do they really only come in grey...? That's very John Major that is - red would be my preference for a tyre - ev'ry time :P

yup, both.

dons anorak..... they're only available in grey at the moment because michelin had a problem with their rubber supplier and couldn't source enough to launch with all the colours they wanted to. so they decided rather than delay the launch altogether they'd start with just the grey and the other colours later in the year.

I ordered 2 pairs (for myself and Ivor) last night. I'll bring them to the SCCU TT if that's okay.

Lord Ingram and Captain Snoop (and any other lovely couples) - you could pair up together (and get any mix of 2s or 3s) as you just need to have an order over £50 to get the extra 10% discount.

I've ordered one pair of Pro Race 2s and one pair of Pro Race 3s. Snoop, take your pick!

If nobody wants the extra pair, I'll carry out a test and let you know if the 3s are an improvement. (Note: The 2s were fine last year and the year before that, and I have no reason to think they won't be fine this year as well. I'm still not convinced they are any better than the 1s. Don't expect anything insightful.)
