Need Tires for my Skinnies
Does anyone know where I can pick up some 165 radials for my 3.5" Welds in the Orlando area? I would even take some used ones if they were in decent shape. I have Moroso DS-2's now, but I want to drive on the street.

If I don't find the 165's before this weekend, I'll probably just go with the Sportsmans to.
Thanks for the tip. I'll shoot a pm over to TWISTED-LS1.

Not anymore. They are special order only and I wanted them before this weekend. If I have to wait, I'll just order the M/T Sportsmans.

Sounds like the Kumho is the tire that I need. It's too bad they don't seem to be available. I called Tire Rack this morning and heard the same thing that everyone else told me, they are on back order from the factory with no expected ship date.
