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.

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

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)

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.

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

Bastard! 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...

No, I won't work on your car. F* your car

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