I'd like to get a pair 22x10x13 or so. I'd also like to trade a pair of 21.5x8x13 for them, or just buy them really, really cheap.

There's a seller on ebay that has a lot of used Hoosiers, "Race Tires USDRRT" is the user name. Anyone have access to some cheap cast offs?

I might have a line on mostly Avon's, just got rid of some nice Dunlop handcuts. I can check for you in about 2 weeks at the next race, what's a really cheap price so I know what to offer.

I'm pretty sure that is the stock Stohr DSR rear size and there are lots of those on that forum.

Ah, that make sense. I emailed with Lee about tires a year or two ago, and I thought he was in TN too. I might have to contact him again.

Buy from Lee. He is buying my Spec Miata and needs the funds.

Lee is great.

I've bought that size from Lee in Hoosier's softest compound (?R25) for my VW GTI, they never really got up to temps when autocrossing, and wandered too much at track days. You can have too much tire, at least that was my conclusion.

Now I run used Hoosier R6's (225/45/13), also from Lee.
