Maybe another interesting question: How many people buying a particular type of tire does it take before you hit the bulk-discount price? For example - if I love the pasela panaracers and maybe the jack brown greens- how many do I need to buy before I see a discount on them. if I know I'm going to go through N of them in the next few years - how many other people do I need to go in on the purchase of them to see a price difference. inquiring minds want to know. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
