Default Viper/vette Dunlop slicks

Anyone want them? these are not "for sale" as much as they are up for discussion.

4x 300x18" originally $480/e and 2x 340mmx18" (these are not even listed in their catalog) Dunlop in pretty good shape, from Sebring this weekend.

Just right for a viper, or 18" vette

Were they used during the race or just testing? Why are they limited to Vipers and Vette's?

Not limited but I know of few cars that can fit (or need) a 340mm wide tire on their hind quarters. as for the history, they have "set 5" written on some of them so I assume they are mid race, but I picked through the whole truck to get the ones with the least wear, they are in pretty good shape.

Unlike the Hankooks which I got on friday so the race did not start till saturday.
