Default Help needed from Ausi & European RCU members

My company is trying to get a handle on what the consumer pays for a set of four Crime Fighter compatible mounted tires in the UK and other parts of Europe and Australia. In doing some basic web searches, it appears that the pricing (dollar for dollar) may be less (in the UK for an example) than they are in the states. We want to launch our product in Europe ( from www.performancedevices.com ) and Australia and we need to make sure we have the best retail pricing.

Feedback will be very appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

in the UK we can get a set of 4 Crimefighters mounted on Proline rims for £31 or on Ellegi (GRP) rims for £25!
the RRP of the tyre & foams alone is £12 a pair but we are offered them at £20 a set of 4

hope this helps

If my math is correct, $31 (in pounds) is about $17.75 USD. That does not make sense, seeing that the same set of four is about $60 USD! What am I missing here?

You must have been missing some math lessons....

31£ = 56$

31$ = 17£

£1 ~ US$1.80. Mounted tyres go for between £20 and £35 depending on the tyre and wheel.

Thank you. I was reversing out the math! Then if our wheels and tires show up at UK retail dealers at about half that price, it should be a hit!

As with our crystals, we should be selling to all of Europe very soon. We are about 3-4 weeks away from initial shipments. The single stage 1:8 foam inserts we now have are awesome too! Our US SRP is $5.95 for a 4-pack. About 5-7% more foam (per insert) than any of our competitors.

Again though, we are not here to sell, just to get a sanity check on our price-points in Europe.
