Default Looking for new tires?? Check this out. No affiliation Yada yada

Hi Guys. I've not posted in a while, but thought it would help those in need of new tires. I checked with my usual contact at TR for rear tires and was quoted at 375 bucks each. Well, did some searching and found same ones for 210 bucks each. Look at Delticom North America. I've not ordered from them before, so I hope there are no snags. Will let you guys know as it will take 3-5 business days UPS. Their phone number is: 877-253-6191. I did ask about how old the tires were and they said no more than 1-2 years.

What's the link?
Googling "Delticom" finds www.tires-easy.com and searching on that site results in pages from delti.com, so I guess that's the same entity. I couldn't find N-rated tires or a tire priced at $210 for 993 Turbo rears ... 285/30/18 ... were you looking at the fronts (225/40/18?)

All the N-rated tires at that tires-easy site were the same price as tirerack.

Carrera GT That's the website: www.tires-easy.com

I ordered Bridgestone Pontenza S02 285/30/18 ZR. These are the same as what's on the 1996-97 turbos

Jamie,

I'm glad it worked out. Too bad I didn't know about this before I bought a set of Toyo Proxies T1R. Great tires, BTW, and way cheaper on your site. Thanks for the tip.

You guys are welcome. I wish I new how to attach this link for the other forums. Always helps in this economy. Anybody know how? If you know how and willing to do so that would be awesome for us Rennlisters.

Thank you for bringing this up to Rennlisters' attention! Would not expect less altruism from a Latin Doctor! This is what the RL community is about! I will check them out for international shipping as well.

Respects

I just saw the other thread, it is unfortunate that it was removed from other forums indeed, TR is a great company and offers great service, always has with me, if these guys can match that, good for them! Thanks Jaime.
