On a whim I checked with Wheel Enhancement on race tire prices. Turns out they have the Hoosiers i need (205/45-16) for $169/ea. $184/ea mounted and balanced. I am local so no shipping charges.
The same tire from Tire Rack is $180 plus shipping, so over $200/ea to get on the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) I'm thinking about getting some cantilever slicks to play around with on a 3rd set of wheels. I know Bob Woodman Tires is one popular source and they have one Goodyear I "might" be able to cram under my narrow body car. Anybody have tips on what slicks might fit a 7" wheel w/o flares and where to get them? |

Damn; I just got a new set of Hoosiers from Tire Rack a couple of days ago. I got them heat cycled so I can keep track of how many run groups I get compared to the last set which were killed prematurely by me but about done anyway.
Where is this Wheel Enhancement place? I'd like to keep the info for next time. |
