I bought my fronts at the start of 2006 and my rears in 2005. They still have tread but have definitely lost grip. I don't get to autox much though so they've lasted me forever.

I'd take it to Dennis Hall.

Matlock wanted $100 for dismount/mount/no balance for 4 16" tires. Eff that.

This place charges $15 per tire to balance and $4-$5 to mount. Without the balancing it's cheap.

I haven't read the entire thread but $50-$60 just for mounting and no balancing seems really high. Even here in the land of the ripoff (Atlanta) I get mine mounted only for $4 per tire.

Anyone need 2 V710s in 225/50/15. I had originally told Bill Holt I was going to buy these but I can't find a time to get up there and buy them. I hate to have him hanging on to them.

I bought some tires from Bill but need to get them down here to Atlanta. Would anyone have the time to pick them up from him and the room to bring them down for the doublex event? It's just 2 15" tires. I can pay a hauling fee. Let me know.

can you post pics? or email them? i'll send you my address in a pm.

what class would this go in?

Bill -

If you're ever in Atlanta and want to do an event you can co-drive the mini-minivan.

I hate that I won't see you when I do my next ETR event.

They're 225/45 but I thought you might be able to use them.

me too (I think)

I didn't notice the Central time thing. I'll try again at noon. Thanks, guys.

I'm still not seeing it listed on the events when I log in. Anyone else having issues?
