Anybody bringing a container over from the US? Any room for some tyres?

they have shipped for a few here, get them delivered to their NY base on arrival to the UK you can collect from heathrow or pay a bit more and have them delivered to your door

though at $450 for a rear PS2 they arent really worth importing at the moment

Well you got me there? Their much cheaper in the USA!
Why would you want to pay our prices?

[zubair]

no its not that i have been importing cars limos hummers trucks etc for over 13 years from the usa.it would mean dealing with a new co wire transfer ship to my agent in jersey and when they get here only to find out they sent me the wrong ones.thts why i thought to get them here

[fatboy18]

Ok, get where your comming from now

[Viper]

there not that cheap at the moment? $450/£270 then youve got to pay shipping,import duty and VAT, then collect them, i think that will end up costing more than UK prices, maybe if the exchange rate gets a bit better it may help

[fatboy18]

Er, its all down to the bill of sale , Also the point was that if someone was bringing over a container anyway, there could be a bit of spare room for some tyres?

[bigviper]

also there a lot of places that wont fit if they dont supply !
i know you some one lamm but alot dont and there arnt many that can do the 335 any how

[fatboy18]

True mate, but were a club, are we not? And shareing information and helping other members is whats its all about, isnt it?

[bigviper]

could not agree more!

[Viper]

fitting generally is OK, its balancing that used to be a problem for some due to the depth of the rim. Never had a problem up here though, plenty of motorsport places to choose from

my previous x3 sets have come from the US, x2 from partsrack and x1 from Luke @ tirerack.

My current partsrack set of x4 Pilots was flown in, £650 to my door,
it's who you know that counts
