Pretty good deals for tires that are fantastic for summer street tires, and pretty good for autocross too.

Man, $85 in 245/40/17. I could save a ton of money if I just kept my existing wheels and picked those tires up. I feel like a wheel whore and a penny pincher are fighting inside my brain.

The tires are a great deal regardless of what wheels you put them on. IIRC though, they're a minor downgrade since you're running RE01s, right?

Yah, I am. They probably have like 10 events left in them before they cord too. I was planning on doing Starspecs which are $149 each in that same size.
No reason for me to buy tires now. They'll just sit in my garage until the middle of next season.

Sure there's reason- half price tires counts as a reason in my book!

Oh, I meant, "good enough reason..."
They're not half off what they're worth. If they were, then I'd consider it more seriously.

Well, they're about half as much as Dunlops, but a lot more than half as good. So there's that. That said, if I needed tires I'd go with the Dunlops just to keep up with the Davises!

That depends on who's wheel it is, doesn't it?

Well yah, for Summer tires, it's a great idea. But for autox, it just sucks that you'd be leaving a little bit on the table. Still, great budget tire.
