Interesting tire

[r.morrison]

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.

Too Robs point, ditto.

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.

Hi All

One the topic of tires from China, because of my website Canadianmilitarypattern.com (it's the .com that gets them) I get a steady stream of Chinese company e-mailing asking if I need bearings, lights, etc made. The latest concerning tires from

" Global Excel Tyres - sales27@toptires.cn "

I've had some interesting offers over the years that I never respond to. The kicker was the offer of T-72 tanks, only sold in lots of 30 or more, and they were not talking toy or model tanks.

Cheers Phil

So How many are you going to order Phil

On the tyres. This may not be an issue to you Canadian based guys, but I heard (but not had confirmed) that our (N.Z.) customs will confiscate any non DOT marked tyres coming into this country.

That can happen here if the tire is being brought in for highway vehicles. One must use the term "implement tire" when importing these.
