Best deal on tires?
Looking for a set of 285/30/18 v710 or g-force R1 for track tires on the M3. Recommendations for the best price?
Call Joe at the Tread Zone. He's always had the best pricing and service for me. I go to him over Tire Rack when I can. He was able to beat their pricing on shaved Kumho XSs by quite a bit.
I'm not sure if he carries V710s or R1s (could probably get them though), but I'd also consider running the Hankook Z214 C51.

+3 for Joe at Treadzone. I bought 3 sets of SM RA1s and 1 set of slight larger RA1s and Joe took care of me. He helped on shipping and the overall price of the RA1s were much less than other internet retailers.
His price on the z214 is the same as most internet sites.

When I was pricing RA-1s with shipping were cheaper than the Treadzone. I have been using these guys for years without any issues. YMMV.
thanks mike, they have 225 nt-01's for $113. However, I'm tempted to get RA-1's to see which tire lasts longer.

I looked at onlinetires.com. I was able to get SM RA1s for $5 less and equal shipping..Originally Posted by 2K Miata
Hmmm? When I price 205/50/15 RA-1 I get
Treadzone = $589.48 ($128 ea. + ground shipping $77.48 )
Onlinetires = $574.00 ($133 ea. + ground shipping $42.00 )
Strange thing is, I don't get the same shipping charge to 75063 from both of these companies like you are getting. Like I said YMMV

there's probably a hidden charge in there for using an Apple :)

I spoke on the phone with Joe. Personalization of service always outways impersonalization...plus I bought a few more tires and I have no job.Hmmm? When I price 205/50/15 RA-1 I get

Yep, I've never used the website. I've always just called Joe and he's taken care of me.I spoke on the phone with Joe. Personalization of service always outways impersonalization...plus I bought a few more tires and I have no job.

Well I'll give Joe a call. If I can get them for $20 cheaper than online that will work for me.
