Default Backordered Tires Suck...no more....

we are stocking mickey thompson 24.5 x 9 x 13 tires in our warehouse now cause i hate having to wait for tires, won't do it anymore - basically offering it as a service to other racers too cause tracking down tires 5 days before an event sucks

just pm me if you ever need any, i will try and always keep a couple of sets here ready to go

You should stock the M&H 25X8.7X13s, those tires are better

One more suggestion. You should bring some sets to the events. That way cheap asses like me don't have to pay for shipping. HAHA but for real you never know when people will need them at an event.

not a problem - delivery to events can be worked out as well

i should just buy 5 sets of weld wheels too, mounts and balance the tires and lease them to racers for events, hrmmmm, this could be doable if anyone is interested

I know my friend is looking for a set of drag wheels and slicks for his 350z. He did not want to buy them b/c he hardly drag races just wanted to see if he could get better times.

well it would depend on if you are racing john the next round or not

not sure - would have to run some #'s - probably wouldn't work out that great but worth a little bit of time to look into, who knows

Only problem with doing that is that most cheap asses are going to want to pay $20 for a race weekend to lease a set. For it to even be halfway profitable, you'd have to get over $150/pr for a weekend. Tires don't last all that long...

just like leasing anything else. You could always go off how many passes and rounds the vehicle goes. So someone doesnt pay $150 and blow a motor or get eliminated immediately. Happy customers keep comin back


great idea by the way. espcially since we know we as humans are such slackers and procastinaters. i'm sure most people at the track would love to run slicks but either run out of time or don't have the full amount to purchase them outright.

that why we always tell everyone not to procrastinate and order wheel and slick packages WAY in advance. Give it 2 weeks at least before it ships.

We had a few sets of those M/T 24.5x9x13 also in stock until last month. No one bothers to ask us I guess if we have them.
