Get them while they last. These are some of the best "street tires" out there. Most of them are half price!!!

I bought some for the daily:rofl: I don't expect them to last long but they were almost half what the other tires I was going to get are so I figure I'd try them.

To bad the tires on the FD are basically brand new.

Dang! That's pretty good price on the stock 8 tires.. I tried to order some but it says its no longer available.. That sucks!

Same size I got for the MS6. It said unavailable for me yesterday and I checked back this morning and it let me order, they are just on back order for 2wks, which is fine.

Well I don't yet. I'll let you know when I get them. Probably be 2-3wks. The only thing I'm worried about is going to be how they do in the rain.

OH!! I see. You just ordered them.. I tought you had them before..

Well, I ordered a set too.. So, I guess I'll find out also..

I'm also worried about how it will do in the rain.. But the review seems like it will do ok..

I didn't get to order any. I tried to order the stock FD sizes just to have around as a spare set... but no luck.

No, I'm going to try and see if I can find a phone here in a little bit. Hopefully I can get some.

Brent, I talked to a guy named Kyle (ext#663). He seemed to be more helpful than others I talked to in the past. He was willing to search for different sizes for me instead of asking, "What model car do you have??".. Which was a normal response in the past when I called in to order.

I also forgot to check my 17 in front tires.. I was going to order the 245/40/17s.

DANG!! I just checked the website and most of the tires are GONE!!

Here is the number: 888-541-1777

Thanks Phil. I was able to call earlier and pick up a set of 225/50/16. I figure between the FD's and my 300zx, I can find something to put them on. It's just too good of a deal to pass up.

haha... yeah, that's the current number. Maybe we should start a help group. :) I've had my 300zx for going on 12 years now though. I'll be selling at least a couple of FD's once I get home more than likely. I have my eye on a new DD once I get home ;)

LOL! Get married! That helps with this addiction :)

So, what's going to be your new daily?? Don't say RX8 :)

If I could do it over now, I would buy a G35 or G37.. Sorry RX8 owners out there... That's how I feel today!! Ask me when my engine light is off and I'll say, I Love my 8!

Also, I need new tires.. Maybe that would make me happy again..

I have a few in mind, it all depends on how much I decide I'm willing to spend. I'm leaning towards the M3 right now. We'll see though.

I have them, love them and won a Time Attack with them. You guys will be impressed with the grip, just don't be upset on how quickly they wear out under hard driving.

The new RE11s are the replacement to the RE01Rs, thinking of getting a set for Time Attack. If anybody is in need of 255/35 18s and 265/35 18s I can sell you my set used. Will have to check the depth of the remaining tread, but I'd say the tires are 25% used. Need to know by the 10th of March. PM me.

adam,

I'm thinking $650 plus shipping. It will have to be soon, I need to order the RE11 Friday so I can get them on, take the RE01Rs off and be ready for RTA Season Opener at the end of March.

I mean to ask if you ever got them. I got mine Wed, they are good looking tires. I almost hate to put them on the daily knowing they won't last long, or get drivin hard.

Herblenny

Actually I also got them on wednesday :)

Yeah, I've decided not to use them as a daily tire. I got some used ones still.

I'm going to put them on the SSRs and use them on the track next time I get out..

I had mine put on Friday and so far so good! It has all been driving in the rain though, but so far I'm pleased with the wet traction.:icon_tup:
