FYI, Discount Tire Direct is currently offering $100 off a set of tires or wheels. Shipping is free, but there's tax. Tire prices seem to be higher than edgeracing and tirerack, but after the discount you do come out ahead.

there is a link on that page that says free shipping on all tires and wheels and another one that says free mount and balance ... if you do tires and wheels it gives you $200 off i just checked plus shows free ground shipping
Dang... That is a good deal. That's $221 out the door for a set of Azenis 615s in 195-60-14, $290 for the 205-50-15. I think I'm going to be placing an order. Don't delay guys... offer only good through Saturday.
they do that offer every couple months or so
Thanks for sharing - I usually prefer to order through Tire Rack, but I couldn't pass up a new set of SPTs for the street for $368 shipped!
(Yes, it does suck buying 18" tires...)
Just ordered a set of 195-60-14 RT615's. Thanks, apex2apex.
Now, what is the best way to store them until they are needed?
In the living room with a round piece of tempered glass on top... Instant end table! My fraternity house had 2 keg tables and a tire table. ::Banana::Quote:

Wow! Good find Alan. I just bought a set of tires for $134. Good stuff.
Online Tires is still cheaper for 205/50/15 Hankook RS-2 by $25. :confused:
Well, you could always train the little bastards... ;)Quote:

I cannot think of a place in the house to store these that I would not mind smelling like a tire store.

Thanks apex2apex!!! I ordered a new set of Falkens for my car today.
So which Falkens are you getting? 512, 912, etc...512's seem to have some mixed reviews/complaints.
For autocrossing, you want to go with the Azenis 615.
I have the Ziex 512 on my Acura and really like them. Since you're not racing, you might like these, too, if they have them in your size.
Just bought a set of AST for $186 out of the door! Thanks for the TCB tips!
Or the 912 which I believe is the updated version of the 512 for nearly the same price. I priced a set yesterday at 125 shipped in 195/60/14.Quote:

So you might end up paying around $200 for a extra set of wheels after you subtract the mounting and balancing cost at your local tire shop.
sure wish i had the $$ right now i saw some nice black 15" i want for the miata guess i will have to wait till the next time a deal like this comes along
You don't have to wait till the next time. Apparently most Falkens are now on back order thanks to this offer. So rather than pay now, have them shipped to me 3 weeks from now, then store them, then take them to be mounted and balanced...Quote:

hmmm may have to look into that ;) thanks
hopefully they'll give me more than 2/10ths at hallett...lol. If that doesn't work, maybe more HP will help. I have a feeling that track days are going to be somewhat more frightening now with all the additional grip.Quote:
