Local tire dealers needed!

bababuschka · 05-17-2013, 05:28 PM

I need some contact info. Bob I stopped by the shop today and the sign said open but the door was locked and bay doors all closed up.

I need some tires. Fronts are 255/40/17, Rears are 275/35/17 but I'm looking to go somewhere between a 295-315. Summer performance tire like a Nitto, toyo, maybe a KDW2. Let me know what you have in stock or can get. I'm looking to get this done ASAP! Thanks.

I buy my RE-11s from Randy @ Firestone Complete Autocare; way cheaper then Tirerack price wise. And $179 lifetime alignment; take it back as much as you want for a free alignment.

3110 S Morgans Point Rd
Mt Pleasant

BTW if you buy the tires from Firestone, negotiate the lifetime alignment. They will come way down on it especially if you buy the tires from them. I got it for $110 after getting a set from them on my old car and they even got the tires at the same cheapest price i could find online. Im pretty sure they didnt take down the color of my car either because ive used it on both my old red cobra and my blue cobra under the same name.

Thanks guys. I'll check them out and see what they have in stock. How do you like the re-11's. I'm just looking for a decent daily tire

I DD on the RE-11s but also race on them.

1.8 60ft @ -2.0 camber.

They are one of the best handling tires on the market.

RE760 is prob a better DD tire tho.

I'll have to look into them. I've never scene those before

RE-11s tho only go up to 255 on a 17in rim.
760s go to 275.

Handling wise they are 1-2% away from the laptime of a slick.
