    Coker has agreed to allowing us a group purchase of XWX radials, drop shipped to multiple locations, each one charged on individual credit cards.

    However, we need to act soon, and must group buy 25 tires.

    I'm in for 5.....

    Who's next!!!

    Can you clarify which size you are buying - 205/70 VR 14 or 205 VR 14? I might also need 4 205/70 VR 15 - or are you hooked into one size?

    I can see myself needing the following XWX:

    2 - 205 VR 14
    2 - 205/70 VR 14
    4 - 205/70 VR 15

    What is the discount coming to?

    Would they consider TRX tires part of the group buy?

    I have PM'd everone I can think of who talked to me about this with the pricing, and that Coker will drop ship these to each of us, so long as we purchase 25 total tires as a group.

    They will bill us individually.

    I'll get an offer code, or some such thing to tell the sales folks at Coker when we order.

    BUT, IF YOU WANT IN, WE'RE NOT UP TO 25 TIRES YET, AND I'M SURE THE OFFER IS NOT OPEN ENDED.

    SO, LET'S GET IT TOGETHER ON THIS. IT'S A SAVINGS OF ABOUT 20%. SO the 5th tire is essentially free.

    Thanks folks,

    Dave

    By now, you should have all received a PM from me with pricing information on these tires.

    To take advantage of Cokers generous offer, call Jerry.

    Ext. is 256, the phone# is 1-800-251-6336.

    He is a member here and the resident Coker Tire Ferrari go to guy.

    He's done a nice job putting this together for us.

    Jerry.

    Did we make it to five sets yet? I think we have based on emails I have received.

    GUYS!!! JERRY WENT WAY OUT OF HIS WAY FOR US!!!! IF YOU WERE CONSIDERING TIRES FOR THE SPRING, NOW'S THE TIME!!!!

    Thanks again, Coker, and Jerry.

    My discount was only 10%, and not the 20% listed above. Still a nice savings, but not enough to make me want to stock up on more.

    Did anyone get 20%?

    17%.

    I was originally quoted $399 for these, I think we got billed at $337.00+-

    So, not quite 20%, but still better than list price, and better by far than what we would have gotten from Coker without Jerry's help.

    OK, I think I see what happened. the $399 price you were quoted must have included $20 in shipping charges.

    205/70VR14 tires are $379 on coker.com, plus shipping, but we got them for $337.31, or 11% off. Still a very nice discount, and I'm pleased with my purchase, and the service at Coker.

    Had they really been 20% off, I'd be buying a bunch more! ;^)

    Frank..

    CUT YOUR CAR IN TWO SO IT ONLY HAS SIX CYLINDERS, THEN CALL JERRY.

    Ext. is 256, the phone# is 1-800-251-6336.

    He is a member here and the resident Coker Tire Ferrari go to guy.

    ACTUALLY, you probably won't have to cut your car in two, but......

    If you don't ask you don't get.

    Call him, he's a really good guy.

    Jerry,

    I'm calling you today to order 5.

    Are the rubber compounds used superior to those from years ago?
