Tires...to purchase...to sell?? (SF, Oakland)
Hi All,
In the middle of a road trip, I got a screw and blew-out a Nitto NT-05 rear (275/35/18). I have been searching, but I cannot find a replacement.
...literally back-ordered around the country for weeks.
Anyone know of some NT-05 available?
...one 50% rear or a pair of new?
...or, anyone need/want some NT-01 fronts (...one rear in the Oakland Area)? If someone wants them, I'd sel 'em cheap or I'll ship them back for use later if I have to buy a whole set of new tires - maybe next spring when the rears become available again.
Alternately, I am looking for some tires to buy. Unless somehow I am able to find a pair of rear NT-05, I'll have to grab a set of new/used tires that can handle a track day and a drive back to Colorado.
Any thoughts, comments how to proceed? ...best tire deals in SF area?
So for the best purchase options seem to be a Falken 615k or Yokohama Advan AD08, both are in stock locally (near OAK airport).
Thanks!
Douglas

I usually go to Big O tires in San Francisco on Mission Street. They always get really close to Tire Rack prices, plus they have Hunter tire mounting/ balancing equipment. Use them for all my cars. I would just get a whole new set. Good luck.

...OK, problem solved.
I ordered a new set. Going to try the Falken RT-615K.
I have a great relationship with Discount Tire here in CO (in CA: America's Tire). The shop in Union City will match discounttiredirect.com prices and ship my "old" tires to the store in Denver directly. Thus, I do not have to get the tires to a UPS center for shipping.
GREAT recommendation for the Discount Tire (America's Tire) shops!!
Very helpful and friendly!!
