Whats weird is when you click on the same size on the bottom of the screen the same tire comes up at $308.

How did you find the $92 price?

Ya. That's weird. I think that's the original price and the lower price is only for the closeout (2008 production) while it's in stock.

The $92 price is a first-hit's-on-me price. Art, you're already hopelessly addicted to R-comps, so there's no need for a discount :lol:

Whats a first hit on me. I have no problem running 2008's if I can get $100 or less R-comps.

Anyone ever use these on a Vette? 5 lbs heavier, .4 inch taller, square shoulder & tread wear rating is almost 3x the rest of the 710 sizes (according to TR specs).

I think this tire was used on some Vipers, not sure if it'll fit c5/c6? I think it'll hit the tub on C5 anyway. Too bad, great deal.

Maybe the specs are why they are giving away the tire.
Good catch on the thread wear at 80 UTQG. But they weight the same as the ones sold for $308 each. The close out is only because of the date. The weight is probably because that it is a lot or rubber 8-)

Theo, you seem to have the magic touch, any chance they have deal on older 275/40/17's? I am only seeing them at full price but if you can see them for less?

That's what CSCC did to me. Actually, I had to pay for the first hit and pick up cones afterwards? :lol: When is the next event already...

A couple new sizes added at good prices. 215/50/13s at $166 and 265/45/16s at $110! I need some 225/50/15s to convert the 914 to R-comps, so I hope this continues. :D

How do you see the sale prices? Even on the $92 ones Theo posted when I went looking at that size they came up $300. Come on guys, what the search routine, the tricks. Common 275/40/18's the little blue coupe wants new shoes. :mrgreen:

I clicked on the link at the bottom of this page, clicked on Shop by Size, entered 345 35 18 and it listed both the $92 and the $308 ones...
