Tire Rack has Bridgestone RE-01R's for dirt cheap!!!
 

Get them while they last. These are some of the best "street tires" out there. Most of them are half price!!!

I bought some for the daily:rofl: I don't expect them to last long but they were almost half what the other tires I was going to get are so I figure I'd try them.

To bad the tires on the FD are basically brand new.

Dang! That's pretty good price on the stock 8 tires.. I tried to order some but it says its no longer available.. That sucks!

OK.. I called it in and ordered some 225/45/18s for the 8. $78 a piece, I just can't pass on that deal!!!

Same size I got for the MS6. It said unavailable for me yesterday and I checked back this morning and it let me order, they are just on back order for 2wks, which is fine.

COOL! So, did you like them as a daily??

Well I don't yet. I'll let you know when I get them. Probably be 2-3wks. The only thing I'm worried about is going to be how they do in the rain.

OH!! I see. You just ordered them.. I tought you had them before..

Well, I ordered a set too.. So, I guess I'll find out also..

I'm also worried about how it will do in the rain.. But the review seems like it will do ok..

I didn't get to order any. I tried to order the stock FD sizes just to have around as a spare set... but no luck.

Brent, Did you call them??

Ah, they don't have em in 255/40/17...

No, I'm going to try and see if I can find a phone here in a little bit. Hopefully I can get some.

Brent, I talked to a guy named Kyle (ext#663). He seemed to be more helpful than others I talked to in the past. He was willing to search for different sizes for me instead of asking, "What model car do you have??".. Which was a normal response in the past when I called in to order.

I also forgot to check my 17 in front tires.. I was going to order the 245/40/17s.

DANG!! I just checked the website and most of the tires are GONE!!

Here is the number: 888-541-1777

Thanks Phil. I was able to call earlier and pick up a set of 225/50/16. I figure between the FD's and my 300zx, I can find something to put them on. It's just too good of a deal to pass up.

OK Brent... You are as sick as me :)

So, you now have 300zx AND 4 x FDs??

i ordered 2 sets of tires.. 245 40 17 and 255 40 17 and (4) 215 45 17 for less than 1k.

you can try calling this guy,

he is a friend of a friend. Tell him "Frank" referred you. My name isnt frank, but yeah. he goes out of his way to help out, especially if your military :)

Wait.. They had 255/40/17s in RE01Rs??

How much?

haha... yeah, that's the current number. Maybe we should start a help group. :) I've had my 300zx for going on 12 years now though. I'll be selling at least a couple of FD's once I get home more than likely. I have my eye on a new DD once I get home ;)

LOL! Get married! That helps with this addiction :)

So, what's going to be your new daily?? Don't say RX8 :)

If I could do it over now, I would buy a G35 or G37.. Sorry RX8 owners out there... That's how I feel today!! Ask me when my engine light is off and I'll say, I Love my 8!

Also, I need new tires.. Maybe that would make me happy again..

I have a few in mind, it all depends on how much I decide I'm willing to spend. I'm leaning towards the M3 right now. We'll see though.

I have them, love them and won a Time Attack with them. You guys will be impressed with the grip, just don't be upset on how quickly they wear out under hard driving.

The new RE11s are the replacement to the RE01Rs, thinking of getting a set for Time Attack. If anybody is in need of 255/35 18s and 265/35 18s I can sell you my set used. Will have to check the depth of the remaining tread, but I'd say the tires are 25% used. Need to know by the 10th of March. PM me.

adam,

how much? I might be interested in them..

I read on another forum that they were getting another shipment, so I called today and and was able to get four 225/50/16.

I'm thinking $650 plus shipping. It will have to be soon, I need to order the RE11 Friday so I can get them on, take the RE01Rs off and be ready for RTA Season Opener at the end of March.

I just got my RE01Rs! They look great!! Can't wait to get them mounted!

I mean to ask if you ever got them. I got mine Wed, they are good looking tires. I almost hate to put them on the daily knowing they won't last long, or get drivin hard.

Actually I also got them on wednesday :)

Yeah, I've decided not to use them as a daily tire. I got some used ones still.

I'm going to put them on the SSRs and use them on the track next time I get out..

Use them while your at Deals Gap!!

I had mine put on Friday and so far so good! It has all been driving in the rain though, but so far I'm pleased with the wet traction.:icon_tup:
