Somewhat of a thread hijack here, I'm in the looking for a tyre of 140/70 proportions, and 17" in diameter.

I liked the look of the Battlaxes, yay/nay?

Really? they never recognise me, and iv'e spend around $2000 there in the past 6 months........even spent an age talking to one of them over a new helmet, came back for tyres couple of weeks later and you would have thought i'd walked in from somalia, certainly no discount/recognition or anything!

Ask for the discount. Something like "Any discounts going on now?" "Is this item on sale?" "Is this the best price you can do?"

I went there a few weeks ago and got a 10% discount off a new helmet buy asking if I could have a discount. He gave it to me...

Is that guy who used to work in the workshop at CT's now working at Drury tires? He was always good for a yarn and a discount.

Same here.

I brought a helmet and a pair of gloves from there in last Thursday. The guy gave me about 10% off after I ask the same question. He also suggest me to register on their website and get an VIP card, which probably give you more discount.

didn't even know drury tires done motorcyle tires. Are they actually cheap. Do you get one of those fugly stickers on ya bike when they're done to?

[Ripperjon]

There used to be a coupon thingy on vouchermate.co.nz for something like 15% off tyres at cycle treads.

Not sure if it's still there, you'll have to have a look.

Yeah, I told him I was a VIP member online (which I am) and he gave me 10% off. It never hurts to ask, the worse that could happen is they say no and you pay the full price...

[madbikeboy]

Never pay retail for anything.

I need a new cage, and I was getting really pissed off at needing to borrow my mate's Hilux whenever I need to tow anything anywhere. So I went to the Jeep place on the Northshore...

They showed me a nice Jeep, then offered me a $1000 discount off retail. I chuckled at that, then when I got home, I emailed 4 ads from TradeMe, same vehicle - $14,000 off on the best one.

Needless to say, I ain't going to be buying one from the NorthShore Jeep dealer...

Thats Mike, he's a good c00nt.

Cycletreads to offer discounts - the VIP card thing will help from time to time, but at the end of the day their prices are pretty fair.

Hmmm they can be a tuff bunch to crack, give them a bit of attitude and they start to warm up.....Mt Eden been really friendly bunch but I've not used them for tyres LOL

[bully]
