Well, a flyer for one, anyway:

Free tires for life! Sign me up! :D

"Limited Production", LOL!

16000 units in 2003 isn't a limited production model??

$1.00 down? Does that mean there is no deposit required to pre-order? :confused:

It's hard to think of an UNLIMITED production model of anything though :)

Funny they used the old concept 8 and not pics from the actual RX-8

Yeah, I got that flyer in the mail. I'm still wondering what the deal is with free tires for life. I do know it involves having your oil changes, and "other" things done at the dealership. But I don't know what the offical terms are, but in the long run it could be a good deal because of the cost of replacement tires on the RX-8 are going to be higher than your average Mazda. I'm sure there is a limit to how often you can get new tires. Otherwise people would be burning rubber all over the place, and what happens if you decide to get one oil change some place else just because it was convent. Does that null the deal?

This is a no-cost incentive program that the Roger Beasley group (or at least Mazda North and Mazda South, he wasn't sure about Premiere Mazda) are starting. Apparently, recent research has shown that folks who regularly get their vehicles serviced at a particular dealership, are very likely to purchase their next vehicle from that same dealership.

So they're offering free tires as an incentive to keep you coming back: if you bring the car to them for all your servicing (both scheduled and remedial), and have them perform a four-wheel alignment once per year, they'll replace the tires when they get down to 3/32" tread. The replacement tires will be of similar type and quality to the OEM's; if the customer wants better tires, he/she can pay the difference. The usual disclaimers re smokey burnouts, racing, etc, apply. :)

I already plan on taking my RX-8 to them for all my servicing needs anyway, so it's free tires for me! :D

Now I just have to work on getting them to fit something better than those damned RE040's before I take delivery.

Thanks for looking into that eccles.

eccles,

what if your out of town and you need to get service somewhere else? does that 1 time void your free tires?

I suspect that they would take the distance into consideration - as long as it was outside of a reasonable radius, I'm sure it would be OK. I guess I'll have to read the fine print when I take delivery. ;)

Go get you free tires and do a monster burnout on the way out :D
