Icon5 R888 SALE 205/50/15 Heads Up.

Hey just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I was browsing onlinetires.com and they currently have a sale going for 205/50/15's at $69each.

I am in no way affiliated with the company, and sadly cant use the R888's, so here I am passing on the info.

Damn that's a good deal. I normally run a 225 on my 15x8's, but this is over 1/2 the cost. Is it ok to run a 205 on 15x8's? It may look a little funky... Thanks for the heads up on the deal.

Ordered my set, for those who are curious about the age of the tires they're time stamped from this year and last year.

That doesn't look funny at all actually. It'd be for my set of bronze 949's, like what it looks like you're running. I think i'm gonna go for it since the price is so good.

Thanks man

To OP: You are the man, my tires started showing cord today. These should be a healthy upgrade.

$15-20 per tire is reasonable as far as i can see to ship those to a residential address, business address will be in the $12-16 range i bet per tire depending on how far they have to go

just imagine you are paying $85 per tire with free shipping, does that make you feel better? lol

still better than $149 per tire i usually see them for

i have 12 of them coming in to us -- so in a couple of months when you can't find them anymore i will gladly sell you a set for $110 per tire (FREE SHIPPING), how that sound? hehe

i tried calling multiple times yesterday and could never get a human being on the phone.

placed the order online and as of right now my credit card has not even been authorized for the charge...

...i emailed them in response to their confirmation of the order that i received and asked a couple of questions and have not heard back to that email either.

so far i have a feeling this is a waste of everyone's time, we shall see though.

yeah, it's funny because i've seen a couple sets on craigslist for $350/set.
so, looks like somebody's getting them cheap and trying to flip them. hope it's not some sort of bait and switch scam shadiness.
