Does anybody have some laying around they can no longer use? I'm looking for some that would still have enough life left to be useful for local club auto-x but they don't have to be nationals worthy by any means.

Willing to pay for the tires and shipping as well (located in Lowell MI but willing to drive a few hours to pick them up)

Thanks, Brad

You can get similarly sized bias ply tires from American Racer for a tad over $100 a pop brand new. They're what I use.

Great lead! are you running the modified asphalt racing tire (I'm guessing in the 23.5/10.0-15S size) and if so which compound?

Thanks, Brad

That's the one. I'm running the M28 compound.

Wow. These are hugely cheaper than Hoosiers. How do they compare in performance and life-span? I was not aware of this option and am very intrigued!

They sell used tires, usually they have R6 Hoosiers as opposed to A6s...but they will be low-use and priced very fairly.

I haven't run purple crack on this car, but they are very grippy once you heat into them. As for longevity, I have a full season of autocross and a few hillclimbs on this set and there is plenty of meat left.

Well thanks a Ton dave! Looks like I've found a new option for tires this year.
