Bridgestone RE001 price?

I know a few of you have purchased Bridgestone RE001 tyres in the past few months. I'm wanting to understand what is a reasonable price to pay?

Size 185/60/14

Have just been quoted $110 per tyre x 4

As an FYI, Bridgstone still have 220 of the RE001 in the 14 inch size in stock.

I think Novice1 bought a set of 15" for $130 each; RE002 in 15" can be had for $145 so $110 for a superceded 14" tyre is a bit much IMO.

If you really like 'em, and if you envisage the odd track day, why not ask them for a deal on how much discount if you buy, say, 12 tyres? Or get a GB together.

I'm still wishing Bridgestone revisit their G-Grid formula as the old Potenza GIII was a fantastic tyre that I rate over the RE001.

$110 is a good price. They often do deals with bonus fuel cards, and give discounts for NRMA/RACV/etc members. Make sure you ask for the manufacture date.

Bridgestone Select dealer in Frankston.

I was asked if I was a RACV member.....yes...good for a $5 discount.

Thanks Guran.

I thought the price sounded reasonable. Will ask what the manuracture date is. I believe the current Bridgestone Coles Myer gift card applies to these tyres.....but am going to double check.

I've just fitted RE001 @ Liverpool Bridgestone; 185/60/14 was quoted $99 incl NRMA member discount.
Apparently there are about 300 remaining in the warehouse and they aren't to old at all, mine were made on the 38th week 2012.
