Wanted: Used tires for Challenge Car

I'm looking for some used tires with enough life left in them to compete at the $2016 Challenge. Preferrably either R-compound or 200tw autocross tires to fit a 17x7 wheel and an tire diameter of less than 25 inches. Does anyone have some or can point me in the right direction to find some?

I'm hoping for some very low cost ones. (not a challenge budget constraint but my own wallet is kind of light this month)

Sorry to thread jack but I am in need of tires for 18x7.5 wheels. I have decent front tires (245/45) but my rears are all season junk.

In reply to singleslammer:

I will have 4 Hoosier 275/30/18s at the Challenge. Two are slightly corded but the other two should work for you.

STAMPIE! My man! I wonder how those will work with the GT Radial UHP1s I have in the front tire?

SINGLESLAMMER my man too!!! No freaking clue.

In reply to Stampie:

Sorry, excited.

It's OK. I get excited over tires too.

I'm starting to look for a set of 4 mostly junk 225/50/15 for testing fitment on the challenge car. I think that size may be the best bet, but don't know until I try it.

In reply to bigben:If your close to Ohio a club member has four 255/40R17 V12 Hancook tires with about 1,000 miles on them. PM me and I will get you his number.

Continuing the threadjack...

Does anyone need 16 inch BMW wheels or a pair of ugly 94-97 Miata wheels for their Challenge car?

I've got some Mini star rims with old Hoosier on them I'd like to get rid of. Don't know if the tires are any good age wize ?

I have some old but new Toyo RA-1 235/40-17 that I could bring with me to the event.

In reply to Woody:

They aren't Miata wheels but I have a set of steels from a Mazda2 in 15x6 that I can bring with me if that works for you.

In reply to Mark57:

Thanks for the offer on those 255/40's but I think those will be too big.

I've got some older r-comps on sn95 mustang 16's that I'd deal on. Bought em for the challenge when only jumbo tires were exempt but last minute car change meant they didn't fit.

I have some for sale if you or someone that can pick them up are near Washington D.C.
Older Kumho V710's in a mixture of 225/45/17 and 245/40/17.

The less work I have to do to get rid of them the cheaper the price is.

I'm in DC as well, so there's the possibility of getting someone to deliver from me/moxnix on their way down to the challenge.

Bump. Still looking for 17" tires. Preferably 215/40, 215/45, or 235/40-17, but I guess even some 205/40 or 205/45 autocross tires would do.

In reply to bigben:
Where are you located?

So I have an old quite worn set of kumho XS 235/40-18 on RX8 S1 wheels if your lug pattern would work, in richmond if that could work.

In reply to DeadSkunk:

I'm near Dallas, TX

In reply to JtspellS:

Bolt pattern is 4x100. I'm guessing yours is five lug.

Yep, 5x114.5, good luck sir!

I have a metric E36 M3 ton of used 225 45 15 rivals and rs3v2 from my chumpcar.

I am near Pittsburgh if anybody wants to pick some up.

Not much tread left. All were round and not flat spotted. none of them are corded.

Not shipping. Not going to the challenge.
