Burn up the old tires first?
I ordered a pair of the closeout tires. So do I take the car to the track with the original Dunlop SP8090 and burn them up or show up with the new tires?

Confused....... how are these not legal for stock class? You can run R Compound Hoosiers but you can't run 140 treadwear street tires?

Well alrighty then, 140 is the minimum in street tire class (in my region at least). The wait is until May? Calling you in the morning, Connor. I missed out on the S-03s... I am NOT missing out on these!

140 is the minimum treadwear rating for all SCCA Street Touring (street tire) classes - like I said before, if you were going to win at Nationals in an ST class last year then you were running these tires.

Ah, well I wasn't making the connection that Street Touring (ST) == Street Tire.

Thank you for everyone who ordered through me directly. It is always appreciated. Sorry to all for the delayed response. Since i am no longer an active sponsor i apparently don't get email updates on threads i take part in so i wasn't aware of the responses. I just wanted to update everyone about the availability of the RE01R's is currently.

225/45/18 - completely gone
245/40/18 - completely gone
255/35/18 - completely gone
265/35/18 - completely gone

2) because i dont rotate, so i wear out my rears before my fronts, i do this so i only have to by 2 tires at a time. its harder to fork over twice as much money at once, even if i do it half as much.

3) sorry, i had no idea i would have to pay 470 out of pocket for slipping my tires for half a second on accident.
