Kind of a long shot but, I ripped through my rear tires at the track pretty quickly. Just seeing whats there so I don’t feel bad blowing through brand new tires at the track next time.

yes.

I dunno if they’ll have anything in an 18" tire that is worth tracking though.

Can’t hurt to try.

Also, Mr D’s tires has used.

I have some at my place in Seattle that are just taking up space. 255-40-18 I believe but will have to check. If you don’t get anything in the next two weeks we can wok something out. I wouldn’t want much for them.

Tread life is about 90% they are some brand I have never heard of. I drove on them for a few weeks and they were ok but I went bigger. They just happened to come with the wheels I bought. Once I get back I will check on shipping.

Only if DMX in the background can deliver them to me.

Actually 245/50s are kind of not the size i’m looking for. I would like 255/40 or wider…
