FAO Boxy - tyre import question

duncan · Post by **duncan** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 7:02 am

are you able to import tyres from Japan or have any contacts that can?

Looking for Bridgestone RE070 CZ 235/45/17 - they only do 225/45/17 in the UK unfortunately

I beleive they also do 245's in Japan too so might suit some others here too.

I am sure that I could get a good order together for these if someone could facilitate it

I`m right on it Duncun, will let you know in the next couple of days. I have a feeling they might want a minimum order of a 20ft Container, but hey I`ll give it a go.

how many tyres would that be?

A lot ducon, will get back to you with some figures. Last time I asked about alloy wheels being sent over by a container, if I remember rightly it was about 400 sets. See what they come back with first.

Duncan have you any idea how much they usually are? So I can see what is cheap and a comparison.

Waiting on replies now from Thailand and America. Proving quite difficult to find suppliers as Bridgestone have the market cornered by only selling to the big distributors.

I have now contacted Bridgestone in Japan directly to see if we can squeeze some sort of deal out of them. Fingers crossed.
