hey guys i can get you guys tires of any size for a little cheaper than what most shops will charge,,for example
i got my friend 215/40/16 prada's 300 thread life a set of 4 for $350,,these tires usually retail for $120 per tire.. let me know what you need and i can get them for you.
by the way all tires are brand new,,never used.
an example fo my prices:
215/40/18 yoko's a set of four would go for $500 so it comes to about $125 per tire,,
i can get all brands of tires from, toyo, yoko, nitto, pirrellis, kumho,,anything,,so let me know

goddamn Alex! You're a lifesaver!! That's hella cheap - I was thinking of ordering from Bottle (my LE37s) but he doesn't sell tires and Euros is gonna charge an arm and a leg. Thanks DEFINITELY for the hookups! I'll let ya know when I'm ready!

sorry jay but i do not like falken tires after buying them and using them for about 3000miles,,,i have the falkens ziex zr rated tire and before i had some other falken tires and all i can say about this tire is that the tires feel sloppy,,for example if i am taking a turn i feel the tires are slipping under me,,there is no grip or traction,,i thought it was because the tire was new but after 2500miles i knew it was just the tires..on another note,,the falken tires to me are very ugly,,because of where the sidewall meets the bottom thread,,,the tires look squarish ,,on the other hand nitto or yokohamas and pirrelli tires are more rounded,,it looks nice plus i strongly feel that if where the side wall meet the thread is squarish the tire do not perform as good a s a tire with a smoother rounder sidewall to thread formation.
i personally do not like falken because of this and i would go with either pirrelli$$ or yokohamas,,,from what my friend told me he took the yoko paradas to the scca last week and he said they were awesome plus they have a 30,000 mile thread life,,my falkens has a 18,000 thread life.... pirrellis,yokohama, dunlop, but as far as price for the 215/40/17 will be about $125-$135 also can be cheaper if you get ****ty tires or more expensive if you get good tires...thanks

wait, you said it gets cheaper if i buy ****tier tires, does that mean the yok paradas are ****tier? cuz you said 125 (500 set of 4) for the 18in paradas earlier. i guess i should jus get paradas. sound pretty cheap. toyo proxes seem too expensive

James has Paradas on his car and he gets like zero traction at tracks. I wouldn't buy Paradas. If I were to buy Yokohamas I'd get a set of A520s.

That's because James sucks and I rule. *ducks* j/k
Actually it's just plain hard to get traction at HRP. Remember, even with the Yoks I burn thru alot of 1st gear. James actually loves the Paradas, he said they bite really well on the street.

everyone knows that the campbell industrial raceway has really bad surfaces,,i mean everyone who comes down from the mainland complains about the track conditions on campbell,,yokohama paradas are great traction tires,,they handle awesome on the street or track....
