$40 rebate on a set of Star Specs at TireRack

Post by Davin Swanson »

TireRack has a $40 mail-in rebate available when you buy a set of Star Specs. Good for the month of March. Great for people considering the new RT classes at the SD national event and the El Toro ProSolo! Here's a link:

Watch out, fellow SK2'ers, those factory Bridgestones are going to the dump. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I figured I'd shred the OEMs while I figured out what I was doing. I still don't know what I'm doing, but that's beside the point... the OEM tires are trashed. With the factory alignment only the outer third was wearing. There's plenty of tread left on the inside! :(

No amount of alignment with an SK2 car will change that :lol:

My front camber maxes out at about 1.4°. If I could, I would run >4°... Maybe then I would get somewhat even wear.

I'd flip them and use them for El Toro practices, then use the Star Specs for the events. You'd have to find a used set of wheels to do that, though.
