PERFECT...I talked to a guy at a performance shop about hopefully getting a bunch of people for a group purchase on some Nitto 555R 275/40ZR17, 315/35ZR17, 305,45ZR18. I mentioned it to him yesterday and he is going to give me some prices later today. Who would be interested? <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" /> Leave your email addresses or email me.

I will find out pricing tomorrow on the nitto drags. I posted a BFG post by accident as a new post I meant to put it into this one but oh well. Check it out got some good deals on BFG KD tires

I'd be interested to know how much you want for the 315/35/17's. I just got a pair last month, but if the price is right, I'll buy my next pair well ahead of schedule.

Me too! 245/50-16 Not all of us are cool enough to have 17s or 18s though.

You can't run a non-sponsor GP on the site, we have a number of sponsors who carry those tires. Before folks gripe, it's honestly in your best interest to use a sponsor since they are used to stocking the tires, and sending them, no moaning from a place that has never dones this before. Plus sponsors are very clear about shipping costs.
This is not appealable.
Any sponsors care to jump in here and lay out some prices, Tod from Discount Tire?

Come on sponsors, we need some tires! Maybe instead of reducing the already good price, Tod from discount tire could give us free heat cycling if we purchase a certain amount of tires at one time. That would be nice. If anybody wants more info on heat cycling here is the info from Discount Tire's website:
A competition tire is built with a highly sophisticated tread compound, capable of sustaining traction throughout a much wider temperature range, but also extremely sensitive to the first heat cycle of its use. During this cycle, if controlled precisely, the tread compound stretches as it heats, breaking the weaker, shorter molecular bonds within the rubber. The benefit of this process is a tread compound that lasts longer and provides better traction. However, if the first cycle is not performed correctly, the tread may develop irregular compounding, leading to poor wear and inconsistent traction.
The Discount Tire heat cycling system ensures consistent results by maintaining key conditions during the process: vertical scrubbing and "soft" temperature curve. Using rollers of proprietary design and placement, the system generates uniform heating and temperature build up throughout the tread (a condition not achievable on a vehicle due to camber) by rolling the tire and exerting vertical scrubbing force only. No lateral force is applied. A soft temperature curve, where the tire is gradually heated and then cooled over a specified time (ambient temperature must be consistent as well), is maintained and monitored during the cycle. In this way the entire tread is heat cycled uniformly throughout its depth and width.
At completion, the tire receives a Discount Tire Heat Cycle stamp. This service costs $15 per tire or $10 if ordered with a wheel and tire package. All competition tire manufacturers recommend heat cycling service. In the time it takes to freight the tires, they have "rested" long enough to be race ready.

How long does this $10 off deal go on? My car is in storage but I dont want to miss out.
The Nittos I got from you last spring are looking a little bald for some reason. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Ordered mine today <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Todd set me up with a set of heat cycled drag radials for free <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
<img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> (well almost free) <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
