Default In need of new tires. HELP!

First of all on me for being too cheap and riding on my original stock RE010's all the way up too 38,000 miles. *Flame suit on.

Tires are shredding up to pieces now and I'm riding on a spare. I'm looking to purchase a pair of Falken Azenis 205/50/15. I called almost every local tire shop that I know of and none of them have them in stock. If I don't get this done today, I'd have to ride on my spare for another week (reason why I'm kinda desperate for new tires now).

- Do you guys know of any tire store that has Falken Azenis or Bridgestone S03's in stock? I'm located in the Long Beach area.

It's true those S-03s are pretty much the best all around street tires out there, but if you want to save some money and still get a very decent tire get a set of Toyo T1-S. Just don't get Toyo FZ4s cause they are horrible in any conditions.

Soup has some re010's for sale for cheap. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=329127 . Might be a good option for you until you decide what you want for the long term.

Has two Nitto's that are pretty much new, that you are welcome to have until you get your Azenis.
BTW, I got my Azenis from America's Tire Co. for $379 mounted.. Took them one day to get them in though... Let me know if you want these in the meantime..

I just got my AZENIS at SEARS, but i showed them a internet price and they gave it to me for $63 each tire. Mounting and everything came out to $325. Also they seem to be okay in the rain, It still grabs the road with a wet surface. Well I like them.

Joker <-- What a great guy! He provided me with 2 Nitto tires (like new),I had them mounted today. Tires felt like it was on last miles of its life when I went to pick up the tires from him. The Nitto's will only be temporary until I order Falken Azenis tires on Monday.

Yea, I predicted I would be changing them around 20K when I bought my ITR. My car hasn't seen any tracks or auto-x courses (yet). I'm hoping to go to the next '03 ITR Expo.
