Who needs tires?
 
I am actually probably telling you this too late, but I called and placed my order yesterday.

Tire Rack has a huge sale on Bridgestone RE01-Rs. They posted a price list on the 911 forum, I think it was. Damon at x643 is a RLer.

Think rear 18s for $99...

:(
Only have 16s and 17s. I need something to replace my rear S-02As!

MrRoboto 02-26-2009 03:54 PM

I need some new rears!! I'll check it out, thanks.

Edit: Darn it, the only sizes left are 16's and 17's. gonzilla you're in luck.

Talking about Rack, they seem to have SSRs available in 19" at a pretty rediculous price of $1600 for a set: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Oh, how I wish they had them in 17".

Not so much... I meant that they only have 16s & 17s. I need 18s. 265-18-35. Oh well.

What a steal, $366 for a set of 17s (225/45, 255/40). Too bad shipping/duty/brokerage/rapage by Revenue Canada adds $300 to the price before factoring in exchange on our Canadian Peso.
Great tire BTW, I have them on my 95 (225/40-18, 265/35-18) and love em. I wonder why they're being discontinued.

nile13 02-26-2009 04:58 PM

Tim, where did you see 225s and 255s? I only saw 245s in 17". For $366 it is an absolute steal!

I called Damon direct. They had about 15 rears and a few more fronts available that don't show on their site. He said they're just flyin out the door. All 18s are gone BTW.

bart1 02-26-2009 05:01 PM

Call them! I called and talked to Damon and he put me on backorder for 18s. I'll know in a few days if I get them all. I ordered 1set of fronts and 2 rears, as they are discontinuing these.

Bart,
This is a good buy Just bought tires all the way around but thanks for the info. Hope all is well.
Baron

MrRoboto 02-26-2009 10:16 PM

I got a call back from Damon, no more back orders for 18"...

Stealth 993 02-26-2009 10:22 PM

Dam, I need 205/255 17in for the NB stockers....

95 C4 993 02-26-2009 11:08 PM

Im still finishing up my last set of SO3's---Tirerack close out special a few summers ago.

bart1 02-26-2009 11:19 PM

Sorry you guys missed these. A great deal, I think. I am on backorder and should know in a few days if I actually get them.

I have a set with about 250 miles on them if you are interested. PM me if interested. Great tire with super turn in and awesome "stick".
