You might want them...
But you can't have them.

or can you?

I am working my seedy little sources to get them shipped into port of Tampa, if anyone is intrested I would love to convince them to get me more tires.

this is an experment, I'm gonna give them away and you help me keep up my image, and we're all happy.

anyone intrested my peliminary cost calculations would save me $20-50 a tire less then the next cheapest R-tire (depends on where the shipping/units costs land) I'm supposed to only distribute them to my "racing team" so welcome to "Team Tampa" Where we do A LOT of testing.

I can float those intrested but not able to come up with the cash up front. however I will need to pay the shipper when they arrive.

availble sizes on this load.

D.O.T. Tread
185/55R14

195/50R15

215/45R17

Radial Slick Tread. (Not D.O.T)

185/530 R13

225/550 R13

285/570 R13

195/580 R15

225/610 R17

these are not for sale... yet. I'm justrying to see if I can get anyone intrested in getting them regardless. bringing in more units, makes my shipping cheaper and helps me keep up the "image"

(I hope I explained it better)

Aww man no fair

I'm not quite sure what this post is about. Do these tires have a brand name associated with them?

Anyway... I'm moving it to the "for sale" forum. Seems appropriate.

treekiller · 08-09-2006, 11:26 PM

Well they are sold under diffrent names. apparently one of them is
Br!dge$tone Re55S, I do not know which brand they will ship under. or how they intend to market them in the US. Just trying to save a few $$$

**Loren** · 08-09-2006, 11:47 PM

I might be interested in a set of the 14's. I like the 185/55 size. Can you get any specs, like weight and dimensions?

Reccomended rim = 6.0"
Permitted rim = 5.5-6.5"
section width = 191mm
Outside Dia = 556mm
Tread face = 193mm

I'll see if I can dig up more.

mofugga · 08-10-2006, 07:18 AM

after a quick google search... these tires are more for track days than autox right?

they have a similar compound to your Kumho 710's or other Race tires. There is an autocross specific compound, however I'm not going there just yet.

jaball77 · 08-12-2006, 10:51 AM

I have no idea what's going on right now.

**Loren** · 08-12-2006, 05:30 PM

Sounds like a sort of "group buy" thing for some race rubber.

treekiller · 08-12-2006, 08:10 PM

i'm waiting on a response to announce the details. and i will. problem is the factory is in mylaisa, the company is japanese. and the importer is the translator. and they are concerned, bridgestone/firestone is so afraid of lawsuits after the explorer debacle, I highly doubt they will be branded as bridgestones if branded at all, since bridgestone chooses o have NO motorsports presence in the US and Firestone is a joke. I'm still confused myself.
