I am looking at buying 20 sets of Nitto 555R Drag Radials from
www.discounttiredirect.com - mainly the 275/60/15, 245/45/17, 275/40/17, 315/35/17 sizes, with some 305/45/18s thrown in as well. I am talking with various shipping companis at the moment to determine whether I'd be better off filling a 20ft container with goodies, or just "buying" spare space in somebody elses container. If we get our own container, I can have it sent to a customs agent friend of mine directly. By not having the container opened until it's at my friend's business address gives us a lot more security and safety. Things go missing from the wharves.....
I have contacted Discount Tire, and I'm now waiting to see what sort of discount would be available on bulk purchases.
Is anyone looking at buying these tyres in the next 4 to 6 weeks?
