Maybe that there is an opportunity for a bulk buy - I have seen it work to good effect on other forums. I am waiting for the intermediate but if a number of you are interested in the winter set it might be worthwhile you considering a joint approach to a willing dealer/dealers

Bulk deal - thought about it but don't think it'll work.

Why?
1. Storage and swapping. I want the wheels and tyres at the garage near to me and I expect most other people do as well.

2. Dealer margin. I don't think the dealers make much money on this transaction. They have a published list price and a true list price but I don't think they have enough fat to trim. Certainly I had a crack at it but £3404 was the best I could do.

If you think it's do-able and disagree with the above then let me know!
