Ideally, I'd like to pick up scrubs to start. If you know where/who I can get some R-compound tires in 18" (ZO6 wheels all 'round) please, post up!

I would love to find someplace to start getting scrubs as well.

I have a set of hoosier slicks (non DOT) scrubs. They are 315s and 295s a few years old but i ran a set in oct 4 20 min sessions and they stuck very well and did not go away at all. I have 4 295s and 2 315s will let go for 200 plus shipping.

Armycop:

Try Bob Chick at usdrctrs@aol.com

He may not have much in A's if you're looking for autocross tires, but he might have some R's.

Kanmer

I agree. I get my tires from Bob and he always has a good deal for me. I have no complaints about quality. I run 17's now and he told me that if I started running 18's I would have a lot more options. If you need his number its 843-762-7324. If you get voice mail he will return your call. He is also a Forum supporting vendor.

Thanks Chris and Bob, I'll give him a shout!

BTW, will R's work equally well for autocross events? or are they too soft?

There is a someone in southern WI that sells used Race tires too.

Phils tire service in NY http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=17943

Bob Chick in SC

For BIG meat used 18" off of Vipers The Track Store in TX

17" used race tires call Phoenix Performance ( forum vendor)

Wonder if Bob Chick will have the Grand AM Pirelli scrubs in a week or so

I'm not exactly sure what you mean; will R's work as well as A's for autocross? No, R's are harder than A's, therefore they take longer to heat up to their optimal temperature, and typical autcross runs are too short to get them up to temperature.

Armycop

So A tires heat up faster than R's. That's the difference. Got it.

So can I use A tires for HPDE's? Or will they get too hot?

69autoXr

I wouldn't recommend it; they'd be faster, but who's counting in an HPDE? But the main thing is you wouldn't get the same longevity out of A's that you would from R's.

Armycop

I just looked at a set of new RA-1's; $1200-$1300, depending who you buy from! That's a big budget hit, for sure. Guess I'll focus on finding used A's now.

Thanks Chris.
