Hi guys and gals (I love the Niki Lada pseudo ;D) I have just recieved some very good news from our supplier. A small batch of 24 units is going to hit our shores at the end of April Any of our members that would like a set should contact me asap in this regard. There will be "slight increase" in price though but still a huge bargain at that. The tyre is a Nankang 175/80R16 with an AT patern and would probably be around R700 incl VAT for a unit. Our supplier will inform me of the new price asap. This is a very limited number (6 sets of 4) but at least we now have a tyre lifeline Regards Marius Attachments:

Hi Spikes
I nearly fell of my chair when I saw that pic - very funny ;D
I am real happy that we could have achieved it - and I hope that all of our members realize the importance of acting as a collective in the interest of the Lada.
This is crucial for our survival - be it a Lada owner, a parts supplier, a mechanic or whatever - we have to work as a unit in the interest of everybody.
"All for One - One for all" type of thing ;D
Regards Marius

Hi Darryn
At this stage it will be at the end of April. We will only have a final date nearer that time.

Hi all
The number of tyres to be imported have been increased from 24 units to 28 units - which gives us one more set of 4 tyres. However there were some of our members like Ventz that's interested in a set of 5 tyres instead of 4.
Let me know if someone else would like a set of 5 tyres or if there is another member looking for a set of 4 tyres.
Regards Marius

Hi all News just in - I have a new fixed price for the tyres per unit. It is a bit more than I expected but nevertheless it is a 50% discount from retail which is fantastic! The new price is R675 excl VAT - if my maths is anything to go by it will be R769.50 incl VAT per unit. The retail price per unit incl VAT is quoted as R1539 - so still a HUGE bargain for a full AT tyre. Regards Marius PS - please check if I calculated the VAT correctly.

Hi Ronnie I must say I have dealt with quite a few companies/dealers manufacturers etc and they ALL have been very friendly and very helpful in trying to make this a possibility. I am grateful and thankful that it became a reality Marius

Hi guys,
Will these tyres be available in the future? Right now we have more pressing issues to repair before we can spend money on decent tyres, but these look great. would potentially be keen on a full set (5) at some point.
cheers, Paul

This initial import should secure continued supply in the future - if you are ready to order you can contact me.

Hi Shaune
One of our members has a brother that is interested in the last available set - but he has not come back to me on this. I will email him in this regard and if I don't hear from him I will let you know.
Just so that you know the tyres will be delivered at a single address in the North West Province - so you will have to make arrangement for the pickup. This will imply some extra costs for you. Delivery is expected at the end of April.
Let me know if you are still interested.
Regards Marius

Hi Marius,
I'll have to wait for the next import (If there will be any). I had to spend the little extra I had on some much needed parts to get my Lada running again.
T'nx,
Jaco

Hi Jaco
If all goes well with the current batch - and I have no reason to believe that it won't - I am sure there will be many more sets to follow.
The importers might not carry regular stock of these tyres - so it could take up to 3/4 months to get your hands on a set from when you placed an order.
Regards Marius

Hi Marius,
That would be good. I have 4 stock rims that needs a re-con first (dings on the sides from bumps) and then it would be nice to get the thinner tires on them.
T'nx,
Jaco
