Yeah bring that extra grill that more food can come off the grills faster.

Shoot them an email or give them a call. Maybe they just haven't checked for new members lately.

I think I ordered these from Discount Tire Direct. Pep Boys used to sell them, but I don't think they do anymore. These are just Volkswagon tires. Otherwise, you can buy some racing skinnies from Summit or Jegs. They are way more expensive, but are designed to handle the high speeds from the track.

I don't see any need in spending that kind of money when I hit 130+ mph for a split second, then I'm on the brakes.

Yes they are expensive but the have less rolling resistance than a volkswagon tire and they weigh 10 lbs less than the vw tires. 10 lbs might not sound like alot but it adds up

Are you serious? 10 lbs less? I didn't think both my tires even weighed 10 lbs. I might have to check in to that.

Good deal. So you are going to start running some fats and skinnies at the track? You finally going with a sticky back tire?

Yeah 10 lbs but I meant to say 10 lbs for both of them. Thats also 10 lbs of rotational mass you don't have to turn either. They don't smash down like a set of vw tires on a heavier car either.

O.K. Might be worth the extra cash then. I will definitely look into that.
