Prices on tyres

(1/1)

crazymac:
I was wandering around Walmart on a recent trip to America, and got to the tyre section!!

BFG Muds and AT's (Trac edge no less) 235.85/16

$89.00 each!! At the current exchange thats around £45.00

why are they more than double that by the time they get here??

dazliss:
Thats staggering, I put A pair of Pirrelli Scorpion S/T's on mine at the weekend and they were £112.50 a piece. This really is rip off Britain!!!!

Big Rich:
Nene Vally are £95 for BFG's

Its amazing how the price of something can be so differant.

Could it be british tax that puts it up?

clbarclay:
Various things push the prices up, such as delivery costs, import tax, VAT and the UK shops profit. I've looked at a number of american items and in practice the £:$ exchange rate might as well be 1:1 :evil:
