Two more sets of tires to get out of the garage!
Set 1: Kumho V710 DOT Competition tires, set of 4 Size 225/50R14 (optimal for 1.8 Miatas with 14X6 wheels, and similar) Wear is right at the wear markers (2/32nds). These tires came with a Miata I bought - I do not know their heat cycle history. One of them has a small cut in the tread, apparently from the tire trailer they were riding on, that goes to the cord. Should be fine for autocross use (but no guarantee, YMMV, etc.) Price: $150 o.b.o., plus shipping, or you can pick up in Gainesville, FL Picture of sidewall Picture of tread Picture of cut
Set 2: Toyo R888 DOT Competition tires, set of 4 Size 205/50ZR15 Wear is minimal - tires were molded at 6/32nds and there's more than 5/32nds left. These tires have only SIX heat cycles on them (30 minute sessions, 3 at Roebling, 3 at Daytona). Only downside, one has a nick in the sidewall, about as long as my thumbnail. I drove a 30 minute race at Daytona on the 24 hour course with the nick and nothing bad happened at 120+ mph on the high banks or on the infield U-turns, so I assume it's fine (but no guarantee, YMMV, etc.). Tires have been religiously kept wrapped in black plastic bags in the garage, at 10psi. Price: $350 o.b.o., plus shipping, or you can pick up in Gainesville, FL Picture of tread Picture of nick
PM me your contact info if you're interested in either set.
Thanks!
