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

What kind of tires are they?

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?

My friend has. And I would rather pay him to do it/do it myself at his place.

Its already very obnoxious, especially since I've put them besides my bed lol

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

Bridgestone RE71R, 200TW autocross/track DOT legal tires. I’ll be using em mostly for autox and on the street.

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.

Choncci bois.

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.

Im excited! I had Yoko A052 on the car and they are supposed to be more grippy but REs was waay more feel is what I've heard.

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

So. Much. Rubber.

Its the CAM lyfe :p
(CAM is Classic American Muscle, Vette runs in the CAM- S (for Sports) class at autox)

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.

My wife would kill me if any car parts made it farther into the house than the garage.

Its $30 a tire at discount when I bring my own

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.
