Default Race Tires 5$ !!!

Its TRUE!!!

I found this amusing. At Disney World you can buy used race tires (Goodyear 15" NASCAR spec) for 5 bucks.

And, they are buy one get one free.

I dunno if they would be good for any kind of laps, but they'd be cool to have.

And whats more amusing is there is some guy on ebay selling them for 30 bucks each.

If they are truly used NASCAR tires, they won't be good for laps since Good Year collects them after the races and drills a hole in them. But yeah, could make a cool tire swing.

Didn't Disney have a track with the Richard Petty Driving Experience there? If so these aren't NASCAR tires but from the school

The ones at disney world are just for the driving experince

the one on ebay are the real deal tires, but like stated earlier, they have drill holes so you cant use them

I have a tire from Cruz Pedregon from NHRA, drives the advance autoparts car. my dad is buddys with him, and gave me a tire...and it still has some meat on it, used for 2 qual passes....only down side is the tire is like 32 inches LOL
