What size 17's Chan? :-)

I'm always on the prowl for some 235/40/17s or similar...

For 15s, I'd suggest the miata guys too. Try Kim at King Rat, they tend to be able to work deals on their used tires.

Enduro races with Piper motorsports.... Tongue... I have a set of used 245/40/17 Hoosier R6s and a set of 255/40/17 RA1s. I will be selling em on bimmerforums soon enough, rather just sell both sets and use the money towards some direzzas.

Ha, not anymore. Well atleast not on the rear tires. I got to the creamy cord center of the rears and I found some chunking of the tread blocks for the fronts. I figure now that the off season is here, people might be getting rid of stacks of tires from their garages or shops.

DJ i'd love to have dibs on the R6s when you are ready to sell, my V710s will be toast by May or June.
