CivicSiRacer 03-04-2003, 06:06 PM You can order tires through the internet you know. Then you would have more access to more tires. I would use 205/50x15" on the fronts and 195/55x15" on the rear. Redline_civic91 03-05-2003, 12:49 PM bf goodrich makes some good dot apporved street slicks. Dezoris 03-05-2003, 10:17 PM Agreed BFG does make one of the better barely DOT approved drag radials. I would check Hoosier too, however I would not run any of these on the street. clint 03-06-2003, 03:56 AM I know that I can order on the internet but Shipping and handling plus tax and shit like that would cost me about the same price as 2 tires!! A few weeks ago I mailed a online tire sop and they told me that S&H would cost me about $200 . So I if order 2 tires that is gonna cost me about $500 with S&H plus Tax included in it.

Did you try http://www.tirerack.com? I don't think I paid that much for shipping of my tires - somewhere around $80? I think. Figure though you will save the same amount in taxes though. I know I checked around and Tire Rack was cheaper by about $20 if I purchased it retail at Sears and then paid tax. Dezoris 03-06-2003, 05:13 PM There are very few places that can beat tire racks prices and quality. Discount tire is another one in which I prefer for the loan reason that they have a store front and the ones in my area will bend over backwards for you even matching and beating tireracks prices, free rotations as often as I like, and they replace my lugs often and make sure they are always tq'd by hand and to the right spec. However even with all that, I still buy my tires from the rack usually. clint 03-07-2003, 02:15 AM I'm from europe I'm gonna mail them and ask them the cost for shipping 2 tires to europe thanks guys!!! clint 03-10-2003, 07:16 AM What's up Last sunday I went to a streetlegal comp at a circuit park where we ran 1/4 mile and we got a Time slip and all I stripped my interior I took the carpeting out and spare tire I had Toyo T1-s proxes 195/50/15 tires, gauged at 24 psi in front I had no bolt ons , just a test pipe and a FPR and Fuel pressure gauge set at 38 psi This was my best 1/4mile 14.58 @ 153 km 60ft was 2.247 I also ran a 14.87 @ 149 km 60ft was 2.689 But on that run I lifted my feet from the gas at the start cause the guy I was racing with had a redlight but when I saw that he went all the way after I lifted my foot from the gas , I floored it again that's why that 60ft was 2.689 What do you guys thinks of my times??? 98_4dr_civic 03-10-2003, 10:32 AM the way to go is tires.com they have lots of brands and cheap prices and shipping and handling is free. I buy tires off of them for 100 a pop. I think thats cheap. peace vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
