Default My Local Tire Guys: What they Got !!!

A few of you have already got some used tires from these guys and have been very happy.

I have bought tires there. Had tires flipped. The balancing is always perfect and NEVER a wheel scratched

They use Road Force balancing and John Bean Visual Liner (laser with print outs) for alignment. They don't have kids working there ...... all very experienced !!!!!!

Alignments are around $100 ($125 max) depending on how customized you want it.

If you want the new Nitto NT-05 tires $1300 out the door (mounted, balanced and tax) !!!!!!

He has some used (look unused) PS2 and Parelli PZero Rosso tires in 235x35x19 sizes

Call him for other makes and sizes


Ask for Kerry and tell him I sent you for special pricing: 805-497-7573

I'm having them mount some used OEM GY's

Then have them do an alignment ..... I trashed my front R6's as I was running stock alignment at the track.

Then I'm undecided about track tires. Either new front R6 with my used rears, set of MPSC's or set of NT05 as track tires (they are getting damn good rewiews and would be way cheaper)

What 335/35/19?
I am currently running 18" wheels all around w/nitto drag radials sizes,335/30/18 in back.{kind of like the 18"s}
I do have an extra set of wheels as well w/ pirelli rossos 19" and 20" in back.
I was gonna sell them,but I guess I'll keep them for "track days'{when,,,,,,,who knows} and use the 18"s for all around and drag strip days{whenever I can drag my ass out there}
c u soon Howie{we never see you that much}

George

My social skills suck

As far as those tires I listed above, they looked great but I have no idea what works on stock C6 wheels. Call him if you have questions.
