As I try to run my track tires to the cords, I also don't want to be stuck with no tires in the middle of the two-day event, thousands of miles from home...

On the flip side... with 4 track tires and 2 "full size spares", bringing 4 tires to be mounted will bring that up to 10... add a jack, tools, stands, food, clothes, etc, etc... adds up to a crazy amount of stuff...

So if there isn't even a place to mount tires around, there'd be no point bringing them and I'd save a lot of room.

I had originally intended to circumvent this problem by finishing off my tires up here before I came down, but with the season just starting up here and other engagements, it doesn't look like I'll have the chance to...

 

Lyle's discount tire is one of the cheapest around at $50 for mount/balance and they are usually pretty good about not dinging up wheels.

 

They charge $50 to mount and balance a wheel!

GTFO!

 

50 bucks for one wheel is nuts, i hope its for all 4

 

There are other places. If you have any problems I'll try to help you out.

 

$12.50 a pop for each tire I hope......

 

lol...........I guess I should have clarified.........It's all four damnit!

btw...If anyone is looking for mint, brand new Gunmetal ITR wheels. Get directions to lyle's discount tire. They have a set of ITR wheels that came off of a 2001 the second they got it in. They had the car in the shop for a while on display, sold it after about 2 years and kept the wheels. The wheels have since been sitting at the shop with the RE010's still mounted. Last I heard, they wanted $800 for all four with the tires, but I'm sure you could talk them down being as the tires are getting old.
