Al Balinsky had 2 Group buys going. One for Hoosiers, the other for BFG's. He had a lot of interest and people saying they wanted some, but when the time came to cough up some $$$$$ almost everybody bailed. In Group Buys, at some point you have to cough up money. Don't say you are in unless you know exactly what you want and you have the cash ready.

I can see why Misterstyx asked if anybody is heroic enough. I would suggest you p.m. Al to see if there is any way of resurrecting the group buys he had going.

I agree totally, group buys suck to arrange, but in the end people come through if they generally, because they want it or need it.

I would have been in, but I just ordered new tires today. I was told through work that all tire prices are going up as of April 1st, so if you're going to get tires I suggest doing it quickly!

You dont need a group buy for us to get you any name brand tire or BFG R1 race tires. The only thing I need a group on is Hoosier tires. If you buy in the USA and bring them back legally it will cost you more than buying Canadian from us.

I was at tires23 yesterday. Bought 2 new tires and made the change from snows to one of the vehicles. Billy is always awesome.

I have 3 more cars to switch over, which will equate to 10 more tires needed. 2 full sets and then 2 tires. I would love a group buy but I think Billy's prices are already great.
