Nice.

that's nice of them. It would have been better if they could have done it a little earlier.

Give em some slack. No one has reminded them yet. That is one of the many reasons why I am here is so I can work with our partners in promoting our events. Hopefully you will notice some changes for the better.

Would you mind pulling some strings to get them to make tires in a size or two that a few of us would really like?

What did they do? That link takes me to kumhos fb page... (Mobile)

Correct. Should be a story on their about the Challenge with a link to the Challenge event page on GRM.

I'm good, but not that good. I will run it by them at SEMA.

Cool!

245/45-16 please! Many of the Porsche guys would kiss their feet as well. It's not going to be CRAZY high volume seller, but they'd sell.

For $2011, Kumho put my N600 on their Facebook page. I pointed out how I wish I could get some Kumhos in the US that actually fit the car they liked. They sell sticky, narrow, low profile 13s in other countries but not the US (just like everybody else!).

Sorry, it was not meant as criticism. I'm grateful for their support, and more so for their PR.....It would have been awesome if they had done it early enough that other people (i.e. ones first hearing about the contest) would have time to prepare an entry for this year's event.

It will still raise public awareness of the event, which may lead to future participants.

Especially with Fiat's return to NA, which leads to interest in the older Fiats that still survive and many are struggling to find decent tires in 13" as some don't fit 15's too well (and even those sizes are becoming harder to come by).
