How much? I didn't even see that size listed.

They are also having a close out on S-02A's & Pilot Sport Ribbed.

I have no idea. Honestly, whatever you think is fair would be fine. I was planning on putting them on Ebay this Spring but I would much rather give a good deal to a fellow Rennlister than jump through the hoops of selling them through there. These tires are much stickier than Pilot Sport Ribs and don't take nearly as much time to come up to temperature. I couldnt offer a comparison to S-02A's though.

Default THANKS DAMON!!!!!

I had emailed Damon yesterday when I read about this to ask if there were any more 265-35-18s and 225-40-18s lying around somewhere. I figured it was worth the shot. Well, I got an email from him this morning telling me to give him a call. Turns out that the guy who was last in line for the rears had canceled his order. He had held onto the cancellation until I could call him back so that I could get them. He also found fronts for me as well. SWEET!!! With a new baby on the way, $530 for a set of 4 tires is okay by me!

Incidentally, he said that I definitely got the last pair of rears out there. Sorry guys. Thanks again Damon!!!

Sorry for the late entry into this forumn guys. I put a post over on wheels/tires a few days ago and have been answering VM's pretty much all day since. Response to this sale has been nothing short of a firestorm the last few days. I've never seen people jump on a sale like this in the 7 years I have been here. 18" is pretty much gone, but people do cancel so don't give up on me, especially today. Call me anyway, even if in doubt. I'll see what I have against outstanding purchase orders.

You may get lucky like Gonzilla.......

Just picked up a set of 265/35/18's and 235/40/18's from Damon. Give him a call if you need a set. He has had a few more sets show up on the system.

Thanks Damon

Just a heads up to my brothers with cars that eat tires like Oreos.

Nice tail. Usually 225/265 is the size combo.

Ok thanks. Damon said either 225 or 235 would work on the front, and either 265 or 285 on the rear. 285 they were out of, and the 235/265 combo they had at 1 warehouse together so thats what he sent me.

But how can I live with the fact that my M3 dd has wider stock rears (275) than my 993?
