Pirelli Tire GB interest?

atomicrm · June 9th, 2012, 04:10 PM

Hi guys,

My family runs a small distribution company and I was looking into picking up some motorcycle brands, targeted mostly at the 250. Mostly to get more involved with the industry and maybe expand the business a little but I dont expect a lot here lol. Adding pirelli diablo rosso 2 tires to my 250 has been my favorite addition by far so I was thinking of starting with this line first. Would any one be interested in this? Would start as a group buy but hopefully become a sustainable business.

Looking forward to hearing opinions on this

I'm interested in this. Mark me down!

EsrTek · June 9th, 2012, 07:14 PM

I'd be in for this.

Harrison89 · June 9th, 2012, 08:54 PM

Im down. Im going to be getting some new tires in a month or so. This would help!

jdv5074 · June 9th, 2012, 09:08 PM

I'd be interested as well!

lgk · June 9th, 2012, 09:18 PM

im interested.

Have heard very good things about the Diablo Rosso II. Some guys are using a 140 Rosso II as their rear tire for Ninja racing. It's doing well on the track so it should be more than enough for the street.

FWIW

good luck

Depends on price, but if competetive then sure thing.

alex.s · June 11th, 2012, 10:29 AM

can you get the pirelli moto3 slicks?

5evenz · June 11th, 2012, 09:57 PM

Down for the Rosso II's

dubojr1 · June 12th, 2012, 06:08 AM

I really like the BT-016's but I might be down for trying these out depending on pricing.

Redgeneral · June 12th, 2012, 06:15 AM

As others have said, I'd be interested if the price is competitive. Also if shipping to Canada is possible.

CZroe · June 13th, 2012, 08:27 AM

What kind of prices are we talking about here? I need newgen and pregen tires.

Momaru · June 13th, 2012, 08:30 AM

I love my Pirelli Sport Demons, but if I do more track days (the plan) I'll need something better. The Rosso IIs were my fave since I've had a great experience with Pirellis. I'm tentatively in, depending on pricing. One way or another, I'll definitely need new tires in a couple of months at the latest.

infinitethrill · June 13th, 2012, 03:19 PM

Running sport demons, and the rear is balding. Need diablo rosso II's soon.

Price?

sousuke86 · June 17th, 2012, 08:56 AM

The lack of having a retail shop is making it tough to get in the door. still working on it

lgk · June 17th, 2012, 04:29 PM

what about an e commerce site and a business license?

does it have to be brick and mortar?

pedroescobar · June 17th, 2012, 07:59 PM

i am also in...i need some new tires!

I already have both. Initially when getting in contact with any distributor they require a brick and mortar sales outlet. This appears to just be a barrier to entry to keep someone just try to get a few cheap parts from signing up. Havent given up, still working on this.

PsHYk · June 18th, 2012, 01:52 PM

price?

usually they have minimum order requirements to prevent that.

thanks for working on this

Sent the pics to all the companies and it all went through...they never will visit
