I do sell vintage Tires and I sell them to club members etc between the retail and what I pay for them. The problem for example is I sold a tire for 145 retail and my cost is 130. There is no Profit. and this was a tire from Coker. I will sell the tires between that price If I know you from one of these sites but, I don't make a living off the tires. I do know Coker TOLD me this past week that after the 1st the Pricing will go up 7% Now what NO one can tell me is does that effect the dealer pricing as well. I don't promote their tires because if I list a set on ebay for example. just the fees alone take what I would get in profit.
Coker owns all the american tire brands as well as some from outside of the Usa except GOODYEAR. Goodyear makes their own tires.
All Suppliers like me all buy from Coker. If I was able to buy a very large amount of Tires they said They would give me a better price. But, That to is not much.
Most Companies will Sell a tire over the Retail that Coker sells at. and they will not tell you where they get them from. but, those who shop around will find Coker.
I ship all my tires straight from Coker Shipping department so that I don't need to charge for the extra shipping. so, This savings is passed along.
If someone needs a tire just drop me a line. I can see what I can do on pricing but, Like I say. Coker has a high price even for their dealers.
