Nice - I recently scooped some lightly used RE71R for the Miata to give them a try.

This is probably a dumb question but yolo

Why do people have new tires shipped to their home?  Do you have the equipment to mount and balance a tire?

They are very good! Lots of feedback and 90% as fast as the fastest 200TW out there from what I hear...

Haha, that was bold.

I get a little queasy just walking out to the garage after new rubber has been installed on a vehicle, I can’t imagine sleeping next to it.

I’m working on the Mini, so can’t have the Vette sitting inthe garage. There is also a shit load of crap in the garage, no real space to put there new tires in there now...and its been getting into the 40s overnight so i don’t want to have em on the Vette while it sits outside waiting on the Mini to be done.

Excellent RE- 71R s! That will probably be my next tire for the RX-7 after these old RE-11As have given up everything they have.

I made that mistake once, then I realized the tire store charges double when they mount and balance someone else’s tires.

I put 205/55 R 16's on my datsun and I think that might be too much tire. I no longer have enough power to break the rear tires loose around a corner unless I REALLY Y ANK IT HARD. There is something satisfying about a little drift-o action.

Agreed, the Vette is the same in 2nd gear on good tires.

They are running $80 a set for mount and balance, Les Schwab used to do it for $40, then they realized they were not making enough money for 20 minutes of work.
