Default Need 2 R6's (285/30/18) ASAP..Tire Rack out of stock?

Hey guys, just tapping into the great resource of our forum. I took my tires of Sunday to do a brake job and found one tire slighty corded on the inner side. I have a 3 day weekend coming up at NJMP on Friday and tire rack does not have any availability until mid September.

Does anyone have these used or do you know an alternative to Tire Rack where I can get them shipped to NJ no later than Wed-Thurs?

You could also try Tom Reichel (AKA = 'Hoosier Tom') at http://www.midatlanticmotorsport.com. He is located in lower Michigan, and specializes in supporting amateur road-racing, DE's & autocross events.

I'm sure Hoosier is concentrating on the SCCA Runoffs, Solo II Nationals & NASA Nationals right now, so there could be slim pickin's on race tires of all kinds...

Good luck finding them.

Thanks to all for the responses! I want to give a shout out to Bowmanized (Mike) for hooking me up. While he couldn't get them to me in time for my event since he is in CA and I am in NJ, he was able to put me in touch with someone local who could.

That is saying a lot, when a tuner helps you out with no profit to themselves. So definite thumbs up for Bowmanized! I will be calling you guys more often.
