$320 Canadian for a new set of

[Fiery254]

BT 003's. 120/70 zr17 + 190/55 zr17.

Good price?

[R1Guy]

Can I ask if you are purchasing at a business that will sell to the general public for the same price? I'd like to get my mitts on a set.

[Fiery254]

Yes, but I am having them shipped to a friend in the US. Its from a US dealer.

[toastman]

you can get them for the same price in Canada and not have to worry about the border

[caboose483]

Which 003's are they?

[Fiery254]

Which 003's are they?

The RS not the DOT.


And they're now $278 Canadian a set shipped to my friend in the US.

I'd rather give business to local guys but that seems too good a deal to stay off.

[caboose483]

I'd call around locally to see if someone can match that..

I'm not being lazy here but do you have any suggestions? I'd guess the main dealers wont touch that price.

How set are you on the Bridgestone?

Riders Choice is having a ridiculous sale on Pilot Powers. $190/set.

I'd try the bigger shops, tell them you found the 003 r/s for that price and see what they say.

It seems to be a catch 22x
US tires are cheaper to buy, Canadian tires are crazy expensive,
we all find ways to get cheaper tires , why don't the vendors/manufacturers be
more competetive in our Canadian market on tires people want and use and they might get MORE business. The loop holes people will jump threw to save a 100
a set, and losing business to the us or lowering your price and keeping the business here??? Hmmm seems like a no brainer to me yet Canadian prices are
no where near the
American market value!!

True, back in 07/08 when the Canadian dollar was above the US and the price disparity was the biggest, it was the manufacturers and distributors who refused to budge on prices.

Even now i still get parts at cost from my sponsor shop and its STILL cheaper for me to buy some stuff from the States.

I just did the calcs. To price match in Canada (before tax) I need;

120/70-zr17 @ $98 CAD

190/55-zr17 @ $150 CAD

for BT 003 rs tires.

I feel a bit of a twat for asking for those prices, but I'll try.

[DaveP]

Send toastman a PM

[toastman]

don't forget the gas/freight required to pick them up

[petes-superbike]

[toybm]

i ll see monday what kind of price i can do for those!

That would be great, could you see what you can do for both the RS and DOT 003's. Thanks

[Freestyle72]

May I suggest Tony at bluestreak racing? I know he has some other tires for a VERY competitive price.

[FearNoSpeed]

i ll see monday what kind of price i can do for those!

I'm interested as well.
I wanna see your impression of Monty Hall.

[omnivore]

Pete's, Platinum Powersports, and Bluestreak Racing can get really close to your US prices.
And both Platinum and Bluestreak can and will install them for you too. Try that at a US retailer.

I know everyone is trying to save some money... it's a very expensive sport, but I'd rather spend a little extra money and buy local. Personal service means a lot to me in this globilized economy of ours.
