Well that sucks, I need six, but if its going to be an issue, I will just save my money and run on street tires. The tires I ran at the kringle are only 7.5 wide and are the towel city, I still need to buy four more rims though, my old wheels and tires are fifteens. I like the idea of getting together, But I will be back on nights after Jan. fifth.

Cats out of the bag, Larry just told us how much motor he has, 600hp, thats 150 per cylinder. I don't have that much if I included the truck I tow my car with! LOL LOL We do need to get this issue ironed out quick, there is new cars being built, new drivers coming in etc. This year is going to be a sort of make or break for us and we all know it. Five or six cars isn't going to cut it. Racing isn't cheep(newsflash) so we need to keep the cost down so we don't scare anyone away. I personally don't care what tires anyone runs as long as they are in the rules. So Lets get it handled, and most important HAVE FUN, NO DRAMA, BUILD THE CLASS, AND, GREAT FRIENDSHIPS.

Just checked that hoosier discontinued site out, no 13 in. tires, and the tire I would need is 116 and some change a piece. That is insane, just like the insane shipping cost for the towels. so my mind is made up unless someone can pull a David Copperfield and make something happen.

Ok Sounds like street tires is cool with all of us, anyone else out there thats new or coming out of retirement-hiatus (yes I know what that means I think) please chime in this is all of our class not just us regulars on the racing web.

this all sound,s like a broken record from last year-Tires are not the only things that make a car go arond a corner [ how about setup] we have proved this mini times over the years....by far we have not had the best engines all these years. I,am going to run street R. .And be up front with an OPEL...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................THANKS OLD MAN CROOK................?

What happened to all of larrys posts? That would be awesome Stephen, Just have to wait till we get our quarterly check, wife said thats for my racing!!!!!!I will be checking on a possible tire shop lead in the next couple of days to try and get towel cities there or the sumitomo- any other legal tire for a good price, will let you all know how it turns out.

Well the tire shop can order them, but they are a bit spendy. I bought six sumitomo tires today at tire rack, paid 354 and some change out the door. Picked them up at the warehouse off USA parkway, right between reno and fernley. I made sure to ask about future availibility guy told me they have not heard of the possibility of them being discontinued. they are 205/60-13, tread looks nice.
