15" street tires needed

Hey William where are you getting tires mounted for $40 - that sounds like a good price.

Thanks,

Not sure who William uses, but I can vouch for baker99miata over on the west side. He runs a tire shop and is a cool fellow Miata guy.

I like know too! Have a set of track tires needed mounting. I agree with Wm that the BFG Supersort II is nice street tires at very good price especially if you catch them on sale. Around Labor Day they practically giving them away !

DFW Discount Tire at Buckingham and Plano Road. We worked out a deal with them but just bring them the wheels and tires off the car for that price. Wear a TDR hat and/or shirt and they'll think you work here. ;)

Where did you find them at that price?

Did you try them out this morning?

^I did...a little squirmy with the cold weather and mold release. I'll report back once they're scrubbed in a bit.

Perhaps a few hot laps on top of the parking garage? ::fool::

^That would be fun, except for the giant speed bumps they use! ::Drive2::

Sorry, all this chatter and traffic on the forum had me distracted! :rolleyes:

I like them! Took them a bit to settle in and get 'round'. Now that they have, they are quiet on the street and relatively grippy....no complaints to date.

Different data point: I had Toyo R1-Rs (16") on my 2002 and I thought there were just okay until they got worse (pretty slippery once they were worn). Before I headed out to Laguna Seca for the 25th party, I put on some Yoko S-Drives. After that 4500-mile trip (9 days, 11 states), I've put on another 1500 or so and I still really like them -- grippy and quiet still.

It seems new tires are always such a nice change from the worn-out crap that just got replaced. The same goes for shocks and brakes. I'll be curious how I like these after another 10k miles. I'll also be curious how you like yours in a year, sammmmmmmmmmmmmm.
