Well it Rtire time, but tire rack has everything out of stock or on back order. I will try calling tommorow, but am open for suggestions of other places to purchase them.

 

Discount tires. I can't find them on their site, but they can get them at your local shop.

 

I dont have a local discount tire, but will call them tommorow too, thanks

 

I really need someones help, I called discount tire and tire rack. I need a south east kuhmo dealer. Discount tire said that they do not carry the Rcompound tires, the best they have is the yokohamas, and they dont have them in a 14. Tire Rack will not have any for 6-8 weeks, for both the ecsta and the victoracer. While they do have the Hoosiers, I dont have the extra money for them. And dont want to get hooked on them yet. Im currently on azenis (the gateway tire/drug) and will probably get these remounted if all else fails. Will there be a tire vendor at CMP in august?

 

You could try http://www.midatlanticmotorsport.com

 

Discount said "NO?" I'm surprised. My guy at the local discount will order any of the Kumhos. Or did they say they just didn't have any in stock?

 

get toyo RA-1 then. make sure they are fully shaved for road use, or even half shaved for autox. part of the price at http://www.aimtire.com/

 

They said they do not carry them, but said I could call a local place (closest is jacksonville, fl @ 3hours) and they might be able to get them.

or discount tire (but you have to ask for them and order them)

Didn't read the post did you

 

just got off the pgone with Discount Tire in Jacksonville, they called kuhmo and were told there will be nothind for a couple weeks

 

TOYO dammit! theyre faster, wear longer or enough. more warning until they break loose (altho that means more annoying squeeling) and just as cheap as tire racks kumho prices i believe if you account for shaving, which is a must in my experience.

 

DISCOUNT Tire ordered my Kumhos for me... from Tire Rack! They even beat Tire Rack's price...

-T

 

well it looks like thats what it will be, get them shaved half tread? Do you know where I can get them for less than 150 ea?

 

ermmm http://www.aimtire.com 14/205 is $135 including shaving. i DO recommend a FULL shave if you are going on the track with these. but i guess if youre not trying to be competitive and a knowing o the extra heat buildup, do the "endurance" shave ron does, which is 6/32 instead of 4/32 from the original 8/32.

 

well I found the kuhmos, they probably are the old compound but thats what everyone else has. I called Vilven Tire they are authorized kuhmo dealer that advertises in GRM. 118 shipped for the 225-50/14

 

you can fit 225s on accords?

 

my 225/40 16 have plenty of room
