Though I'd share I bought a bunch of pro race tires for $30 each for me and my buddies. Got the bulk tire deal form www.labicicletta.com and I just got them the other day.

They have a bunch of other tires at low prices, anyone ever deal with them before? It was my first time ordering bike stuff online because I wont pay 50 for a pro-race tire. I expect some problems, but didnt get any.

Just remember-you need to pay duty if the total is more than $400 (or was it $200?). Buying tubulars in bulk used to be fairly common.

Well I'm not sure about all that, but I guess they took care of all the paper work. I havent paid anymore then they quoted me and I got 25 tires. A few of the guys I ride with picked a few up for a little more then I bought them at and now I basically had them shipped to me for free.

As no one else done business with these guys before?

They're in NY as well as Canada.

BTW that Mich Pro Race bulk tires at $30 each sounds like pretty decent deal to me; that might be a better deal than World Class's "buy any 10, get free tube + discount" deal as you don't have to buy 10 tires.

Actually there is a minimum, the guy I spoke to said it was a min of 10 tires. But I could mix and match the colors.

Yeah I bought a pair of PR from them a while back. Front tire was poorly molded and bubbled in a couple of spots. With 2 miles on it I called for a replacement. They gave me an unaccountably hard time, a real pain in the ass. Never again.

... and two Ksyrium wheel magnets at labicicletta.com. Their gruppo prices used to be competitive as well, although, I haven't checked in a while. Overall, I found them very knowlegable and easy to work with. If you know of a better source for cheap Sidis, please let me know.
