    Default performance tires

    I've got a set of Hoosier A6's size 225-50-15 that have about 50 cycles on them and a set of Advan A048's size 225-45-16 that 2 are about at the shaved height and 2 are slightly above with some high air pressure wear down the center. $100 for the Advans $80 for the Hoosiers. They've just been sitting in the corner of my shop for the summer so its time to get rid of them.

    Forgot to say I'll be in Atl. in my truck this weekend so if anyone wants these tires I can bring them with me so you won't have to drive all the way down here to pick them up.

    I will call you later this afternoon and we can work it out. I'm already coming up saturday and probably bringing the slicks so that would work fine.

    Ok just please try to make it early.. As i need to mount 2 of them , i am making them work as my slicks for tuner fest... I cant fit anything under a 16" rim so this is my best bet. You think they will work ok?

    I'll see what I can do about the time but I can't promise anything at this point. They should be good drag tires once you warm them up. They like to be around 140-150 degrees for best traction.

    I drove them to some of the events that were close by but since these are the A6 compound they will not last very long if you do that much. Its not so much about the tread on an R comp, its heat cycling. Each time you drive the car its a heat cycle if you get them up to temp and they will start to get rock hard long before they wear out.
