Good place for used race tires?
Is there a good place to get slightly used autox/roadracing tires? I just can't justify spending the money on new tires when I'm not trying to be competitive. Thanks. -John

He was my source for Hoosier GAC's, although I am not sure if these tires are available used anymore.

I've put two track days on them so far and they look like they could take 3 to 5 more days. I was very happy with the way the tires felt on the track. And you can't beat the price!

I normally have quite a few during the year - Kumho 275 and 315 x 17s and Joe Aqualante (Phoenix Performance) normally has a bunch too. We both make posts on here during the year with our used scuffs. It's good, fast, cheap seat time!!!!!
And my buddy Joe Gaudette has a bunch of used tires and brakes. I think he has 3 sets of brand new Hoosiers for $75 each. You're nuts if you don't pick these up!!!!
