Tire Rack ownz - .RJ - 03-23-2006
Well, I finally bought a new set of tires, for the racecar - I dont remember the last time I bought new tires, so it could have been last week but it was more likely about 5 years ago.
Tires ordered at 10am, they were heat cycled and shipped out by 5pm, and I'll probably have them in 2 days. These guys really kick ass :thumbup:
- Sijray21 - 03-23-2006
i've always loved dealing with them and their advice is good.
another thumbup for tirerack.
Probably 4 sets of tires and 2 sets of wheel/tire combo's here

if they carried more brands of tires, they would possibly be the perfect tire retailer.
but since they dont, i rarely buy anything from them.
got a set of wheels a couple months ago but thats it

would be nice if they had toyo and falken....
- white_2kgt - 03-23-2006
So I guess HC isn't using a spec toyo tire?

*grumble* spec tire *grumble*
After a lot of whining it was delayed until '07 for ECHC

i love me some Tirerack. I think I've spent a bit over 2 grand there in the past year. SE-R wheels and tires, tires for the supra, tires for the 240. I wonder if we could get a discount system for MM members?

We've talked about setting up an affliate link. It wouldn't discount the prices, but MM would get a cut of everything.

Tirerack does me zero good since I still have to get my tires mounted and every place around here will match their prices.

$130.00 to mount tires was not fun....
There is a link for cheap tires in for sale I got 4 falken azenis st115 for 314$ or something.

We gave you other options at 1/3 the price - dont complain because you didnt follow up on them.

He could've driven down here, had his tires mounted, eaten lunch, and driven back to NoVA for half that.

Where'd you go, Feersty? Tiresplus is a pretty big chain and they do mount/balance for 18 bucks. Who the hell mounts/balance for 30+ a tire?
- JustinG - 03-24-2006
i hope he got a BJ and a lap dance for that price

Believe it or not, a lot of places charge exorbinant fees for "oversized" wheels...

It's not like Feersty had some dubs for his Escalade. When I had 17's, I shopped around. Most big ass chains like NTB don't charge for 17's, why would you go out of your way to find a place that does.
- Sijray21 - 03-24-2006
i think he probably paid more b/c they have issues with low-profile tires. i think they're 17" tires with an aspect ratio of 45 or 40. I know some places won't even do some dimensions. I agree that they shouldn't cost more than $18/wheel
- white_2kgt - 03-24-2006
When I goto VIR I stop at a tire shop in Altavista, I pull out my race tires, get new ones mounted AND balanced and the old ones flipped, takes about 20 minutes and I give the guy $5. $130 is just Feersty.
