Beregond Supersonic July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 made enquiry with soh bros for my continental sc 3 tyre cost only $300 per piece. check with stamford tyres, who is supposed ot be the authorised distirbutor and it cost $440. any catch ah? how come so much cheaper? i think this is normal? stamford supply tyre to tyre shop to sell. of course they must sell higher then their customer. if they themself sell lower or same price, which tyre shop wanna order tyres from stamford? lol :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 Stamford mark-up very very high. i heard about their high mark up and i thought they would chage more for other brands since they are not the AD. seems like it is rather stupid to charge 440 to retail customer and say 250 to workshops? even if they tout better service than those workshop, how much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel its wasting my time. Now got many promo for CSC3. Look at the small ads in MCF n I see lots of promo fr PS3 even. Quite cheap. I think tire prices r dropping.

Sony 1st Gear July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 235/45/r17 thanks i am surprised stamford charged more than their downline Odd size are usually more ex. Stamford markup higher coz they answerable to their retailer. Seems like their business is more to distributor than shop front although they got so many branches ard. Try arrow tyres, they having promo. My friend's odd size 18inch cost 420 while my common size 18inch is only 250 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Neutral Newbie July 30, 2011 Share July 30, 2011 my tyre is odd size. those that stamford gives offer usually differently profile from mine. try arrow tyres probably can get it cheaper for 235/45/r17 may also want to consider PS3, personally i'll rather take PS3 over CSC3 although one thing that i don't like about CSC3 is, you can't cross rotate the tyres...
