Where do you go for tires?

Search is down. I been looking for two tires. 295/35-18 Has anyone seen any for less than 200 a piece? Tired of paying out the yang for tires everytime I burn some up at the track. Where does everyone get their tires?

Discount Tire or Tire Rack . . . But a 295/35ZR18 for UNDER $200 . . . . no way . . .

Cheapest I found is the Firestone Wide Oval for $206 each . . .

Well, thanks anyway. Guess I'll just have to keep paying the corvette tax.

The joys of having 18" wheels and tires.

I'm in the same boat but they are worth every penny in the looks department!

I picked up a set of 315/35/r17 bfg dr's for about $150 a piece on tirerack.com I believe. Do the 18's really cost that much more?

Yeah, they cost a bit. Maybe I should just try to find some 17's for the rear.

I always call up the online store of DiscountTireDirect.com and talk to 1 guy that has always gave me the best prices on everything! This includes wheels and tires for both my TA and my bro's truck. He did better than the local discount tire here in town. Anyway just go to the Discount Tire Direct website and call the toll free number and the guys name is Corey, his extension is 1874.
