Where do you buy your hoosiers tires??

I get mine from Forgeline in Dayton Ohio.
Great bunch of guys and some of the best racing wheels you will ever get.
If you are shopping for price, I don't think you will find any deals on Hoosiers. They all seem to have pretty much the exact same price.
I save a bit on shipping as Forgeline is only a short hop for me to go pick them up and I get to visit their manufacturing line which is pretty cool.
I think most charge the $15.00 or so for heat cycling the tires as well.

I bought mine from Tire Rack and I did pay for the heat cycling. There doesn't appear to be much of a price difference from the other vendors listed in the other threads and I Ilike being able to order without picking up the phone and from a web site that doesn't look like a high school HTML class wrote it (no offense intended).
Yes, I know the opinions on heat cycling from TR not being worth anything but I figured I'd give it a shot as my other option is to do nothing since I only have one set of track wheels.

Hoosier keeps their retailers in line with regard to discounting. Discount the tires and you won't be a retailer. That is their way of protecting both their own margins and the retailers. I'd like to see some competition in that regard, at $1200/set and considering how short the life is, somebody is making fat profit on these things.
Yes, I do know that even free uncompetitive tires are a crummy deal (been there, done that), but $3600/year for tires is a lot of jack if you are running a full season and a lot of events.

I buy used ones from Bob Chick......4 for the price of 1. They aren't as sticky as new ones, but they still get me around the track faster than most.....

Me too. We get about 2/3 of the tread and heat-cycles remaining for less than 1/3 the price. Why would anyone buy anywhere else?
