Discount tire direct with free shipping. However they may not sell them to you due to their strict load rating policy.

Discount Tire has $100 off $400 but it doesn't show 275/35-18 on the Ebay store. I sent them an email 2 days ago asking about that size, but haven't heard back yet.

aus - we already bought all of the 275's from the sale. That sale started last weekend. You gotta move fast. I got a set.

Best place to buy tires, IMO, is at races. Last weekend at Chucky, some club racer was selling a set of 4 used 275 Nittos for $200.

I went through this with them on the phone, and they were ok once I said I wouldn't use them on the street.

Who ever tells them what car they are going on? I just buy tires. I don't tell them squat about my vehicle.

They dug into it with me on the phone, and they almost wouldn't sell them to me, until I assured them I wouldn't drive on the street. No matter what.

It was sort of a funny conversation.
