Where do you guys get tires from? I'm looking to get some Nitto nt555r 305/45/18 2 of those and 2 275/40/17. Best deal I've found online is summit but that's still topping $1000

Didn't know you could ship vehicles with Space A.. Are you PCSing here? Talk to your base TMO and ask for a vehicle drop off location near you and you can get your car shipped via a private carrier, (Matson). Mine took about a month to get here from St. Louis, MO. It came in dirty but no scratches or any damage.

I've been coming out on the weekends for a while now. Have the souped-up Jetta and recently the Z06.

Did the dyno at BSM last weekend with the GTO club; bunch of great guys.

For tires, don't discard Amazon. I bought two Nitto NT05 tires (275/40R17) with free shipping.
