AndrewD Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I need to get some new ACB10s for my SLR (7-21-13 for front, 8-22-13 for rear). I can see the prices at Caterham and BMTR. Any other places to try or is about 90-95 a corner plus vat about the best I'm going to get? Any advice gratefully received! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL FLY Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I've just bought some second hand 6x13 ACB10s from Mark Miller Motorsport for 15 quid a corner including VAT and delivery, they've only done one race meeting and will do nicely for trackdays. Sorry if this isn't much help but at least I know how much of a bargain I got. Roy Edited by - will fly on 4 Apr 2002 21:38:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwelton Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Andrew, I tried all sorts of places when I was looking, Kwikfit claim to have an "any tire, any place" etc policy for their internet site, it's not really true, as they discovered BMTR are the sole supplier (even to Caterham) however I did find Caterham were marginally cheaper than BMTR. Hope that helps, however the thought of £15 a go slightly second hand is VERY enticing and might encourage me to try harder on track! Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegro Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Andrew Have you tried Avon direct at Swindon. Here's the number 01225 357694 You are unlikely to get cheaper new than direct from the supplier. You will have to get them fitted, but they will deliver to your door. Speak to Brian Davis. He has sorted me out with tyres a few times now. Andy Mac teeth.gif Out of Control RED SLR teeth.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight fart Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 my local tyre fitter quoted me around £80 for rears in november. I am about to order, if he can do it for that i'll post details. T.F@O.F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10ROX Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 how about a club bulk buy? i'll need 2 or 3 sets for the trackday season any takers the not so light Superlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I'm up for a couple of sets if anyone is kind enough to do the haggling on my behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwelton Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'd be interested in a group purchase as well. TF, did the £80 quote include VAT, otherwise at £94 (plus fitting ?) that is the going price anyway? Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
