I'm not sure we can price match to tire rack but I will double check with my manager.
That's not what the 1er guys have experienced.

In their experience Bob Jane franchisees have matched domestic advertised prices for Michelin PSS even from Tempe who are known for their grey imports. Jaffa12 had his quote from Tirerack matched by Bob Jane.

I am not throwing stones here. I don't need tyres. It would be great though if we could support local businesses and get tyres almost straight away instead of buying internationally. Then you have to wait for the tyres to be delivered, then take them along with your car to a tyre place that you didn't buy the tyres from to get them fitted all for the same cheap price you get them from Tirerack and other international sellers.

Maybe you could speak to your manager and organise a deal for forum members.

Yes, that is what I did for Chensta, matched it to tempe tyres and beat it by 10% of the difference of our retail to tempes retail. We will beat anyones price as long as it is the exact same tyre and we can confirm the price they quoted the customer either by phone or online.

I spoke with the manager and the most likely case for jaffa on the 1er forum, is Bob Jane matched it to the lowest competitor ( most likely tempe, st george or whoever ) which is still cheaper than tire rack + freight. Or it would have been a franchise store ( owned by a owner ) because I work at a corp store ( owned by the bob jane corporation ) and we are not allowed to price match international competition as our head office checks all the BTPGs ( Best tyre price guaranteed )

If people on the forum need tyres they can PM me and I will do my best to help them out!
