Default catch 22

Ryan

Thank you for taking the lead on this project and I hope you have the patience of Job. Sounds like this is catch 22, they can send a picture of a tire but, have no tire to send for a sample. They probably wont produce several tires for a sample but, want a commitment for 100 sets. We await further developments.

DOT or no DOT, I want them. They will fit the bill to a T.

Not sure if it will help, but parts for antique vehicles are not subject to duty no matter what the country of origin. The lack of DOT rating may negate that avenue though.

Default Commitment....

So gentlemen, given we have this set back regarding "quality control", (lack of product) who out there would be commited to buying on the fact that the minimum purchase on our end will have to be 100 "sets" of tires....with no DOT rating on them. That would be in my calculations (rough) about half a 20 foot container and a little over 200 sets for a full 20 foot container. Just remember, we pay by the container and not how much is inside it. AND that, in this case, would be FOB Canada.

Looking forward to hearing from y'all! Robert

While I am definitely in, one detail missing is a price estimate. Without a base price from the factory, it is all a moot point. If the tires ended up being $500 each, I would be taking much less of them than I anticipate. If they were $150 each, the hoarder in me would want to fill the shed.

I expect them to be around $350 a tire with tube and boot once they are landed. A 20ft can will hold about 200 tires.

"Standard rim 6.5H" means these tyres are for American rims which are 6.5-inch wide. Commonwealth spilt rims are 6-inch wide, and of course 0.25-inch larger in diameter.

If this pattern is available on the European market I would turn down my rims to make them fit, though!

Did anyone have any luck sourcing these?

Thanks,
Hanno
