Default Looking for Drag Radials

Can you guys recomend any tire shops in the Los Angeles area that would have some drag radials at a decent price? Im looking for some 275/40/17 drag radials and would like to have them before Invasion. I asked a couple local shops how much for some nittos 555R, best price I found was $210 each.

Thanks

Team C Performance in Bellflower off the 91 and the 605 have them in stock 90% of the time but you will pay 20-30 more than Jegs/Summit usually charges...

Use google shipping i just did and here is what i found. http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php...ducts_id=10718
now print that out and take it to discount tire, they will price match any tires so hold them to that. Good luck. o and make sure they dont charge you for any shipping or other bs

Thanks Guys.....I was looking at the nittos for the reason that my car is always street driven and nittos seem to last longer than most DR's on the street.
