Post best source for competition tires

can anyone let me know the best source for competition tires. I'm thinking of going for the Pilot Sport Cups or the P Zero Corsa's. Now just looking for the best price....

Cheers,
Boris

Boris, When I had my 993, I always ran at the track with used Hoosiers. I have a supplier that will ship them to you from the east coast, ends up costing like $80 a tire. They always lasted a long time for me and since I wasn't racing, I never needed the extra gription that a new tire afforded - especially at $250 a tire. Let me know and will email you the contact info as he is not a board sponsor.

EJ - Can I get that contact info as well? I plan to track the car once in a while, but would like to save a little money as well. Thanks!

Bob Woodman doesnt actually offer as good a price as Bob Chick who used to work there does now.

The other thing about the Bob Chick tires is that most of them are from the Grand AM Cup and they use a different compound from the normal Hoosiers.
These tires are a bit harder and have a longer treadlife, which is a good thing for DE's.
