Tires - I need help before the weekend
Who is it that has the connection at the tire rack? My tires are toast from last weekend. My driver side is through the metal.
I'd love to get the same tires Matt had last weekend, maybe in a 245/40? Any help would be greatly appreciated |

Meets? We have meets?

Matt has Yokohama A032 R compounds on I believe, but Tire Rack is out of those right now cause they are on sale. They do have the new Advan A048 in 225/45/17, but they're a bit pricier.

You could also 2 day some Hankooks RS-2s in 235/40-17 for right around $550... from Discount Tire Direct.
Ship them right to your tire shop of choice.

Matt ran 235/40 because 245/40 is only available in the soft autocross compound.

Yeah, make sure you get the hard compound or they'll wear out in 3 laps.

I wanted the same Matt, but I agree on the soft compound so I got the 235/40's in the hard compound. Hopefully they will last the summer. Clearly my alignment was off. Sid is putting the tires on and aligning the car on Friday afternoon. |
