Potenza $100 rebate
 
I found this maybe old. www.potenza.com/sccarebate
only RE-01R, RE050A Pole Position, RE050A and RE960AS Pole Position.

MikeK 2007-05-23 09:00 AM

Damn, I bought my RE-01Rs two weeks too early :(

MattR 2007-05-23 09:17 AM

Hello Doctor!

sperry 2007-05-23 09:22 AM

Wow, 245/40/17s are on sale at TireRack, plus the $100 discount, and that's a set for about $500!

Too bad they don't make a 255. :(

Dean 2007-05-23 09:22 AM

That's pretty nice... Might have bought some if I didn't already have too many tires.

Nick Koan 2007-05-23 09:33 AM

Damn, I think I'm going to pick up a set of 245/40/17s.

MattR 2007-05-23 09:38 AM

I'll be picking up my Re-01's in a 245-40/17 later today. Comes to $631 before rebate...sweet.

cody 2007-05-23 09:47 AM

Should I consider some Re-01's instead of 615's?

I have autocrossed on RE-92s, RE-070s, 615s and RE-01Rs and there is no comparison, the RE-01Rs are better than all of the others (except for the RE-92s)

Nick Koan 2007-05-23 09:50 AM

<-- Set Ordered :D

Nice. Do you know if they tend to run wider or less wide than 615's in the same size? I really want to get 235/40ZR17 but they're $51/tire more than 225/45ZR17 so I'll just stick to 225's I guess.

sperry 2007-05-23 10:01 AM

Ugh, you guys are gonna make me order tires, aren't you? :mad:

We could go pick them up at lunch together, and then grab some El Rosal.

Bastard! :P I need to sell all 10 of my 17X7.5's for some nice 17X8's.

I wish they'd put the 235's on sale too. :(

Well, after a session on the 615's at RFR, they're just about done. Hell, they have all of last season's autocross on 'em... not that the car got driven all that much last year... but they're certainly not going to last the season.

And, I'll need some more Sport Cups to finish out the trials season... grrr...

cody 2007-05-23 11:38 AM

I'm such a biter...order placed.

MPREZIV 2007-05-23 11:41 AM

Shit, if I hadn't just spent $500 on my car yesterday, I'd buy a set just because they're cheap!

What did you get?

MattR 2007-05-23 12:50 PM

Well, i just picked up mine, Scott went crazy as usual and left with a bed-full of tires, and Nick got his too. :lol: Damn we're nuts.

MattR 2007-05-23 12:51 PM

On, Nat should set up some kind of commission payment from Tire rack for this :lol:

Nick Koan 2007-05-23 01:05 PM

As we were loading up the truck, we saw Cody pulling up too :lol:

Apparently they had to grow the rubber tree and manufacture the tire...took forever...didn't help that my credit card company thought somebody may have stole my card. I haven't been spending that much money. :rolleyes:

Yep, I got an email from BofA as soon as I got back to work, they said the Tire rack transaction alerted a fraudulant purchase flag on my account, and they wanted to verify...Weird.

Nick Koan 2007-05-23 01:57 PM

You guys must not spend enough on your credit cards. My bank doesn't bat an eye if its under $1500 for me.

:lol: :(

MPREZIV 2007-05-23 06:53 PM

No... I just wanted to stir up speculation... :D I ordered the Autopower Race 4 point roll bar. And don't worry JC, I'll put up pics when I get it!

wrxkidid 2007-05-27 03:08 PM

without roadhazard after the rebate those are like $487 :wow:

i wish i had some money. i wouldnt even mount them id just have them for when i ate up the HRIs

MattR 2007-06-10 09:25 PM

OKay, so I guess you're supposed to put some miles on new tires before trying to race on them, thus, I sucked at Auto-x on saturday. After I knocked the "new" off my RE 01R's, I can say that they are indeed the best street tire I've driven on ever. I am very happy with their consistency and feedback. Carry on.

Nick Koan 2007-06-10 09:33 PM

Looks like I will be looking to get my set shaved before when I mount them up.

Anyone know where to do that? And what depth I should go for?

MattR 2007-06-10 09:44 PM

They should be shaved to 1/32

Nick Koan 2007-06-10 09:46 PM

Thats too tall. I'm going to go for 0/32

MattR 2007-06-10 10:00 PM

You're so extreme.

Nick Koan 2007-06-10 10:13 PM

I'm as extreme as a dorito and mountain dew taco.

Most recently, I think we discussed this in this thread... There are likely older ones as well...

4-5/32nds is typical... I wish I had done my 255s. I'm going to wear out the shoulders long before the center of the tread.
