Default Where to buy Nittos at a fair price

I have a overseas customer looking for a set of Nittos, I guess they have a roadrace tire. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My normal tire places don't touch them.

Thanks
Randy

It's the 555r2. I will try discount tire. I have been around and around with other dealers, that is why I asked!!!
Discount tire treated me right on a deal about 3 years ago!!!

I wished they carried more stuff. I get tax in GA with tire rack (and disposal fee's), and TR's shipping prices have gotten pretty absurd. Free shipping with DT, if they carry the same tire as TR, out the door it's always cheaper than TR.

The Goodyear F1s are better than the Nitto NT05s.

Yeah, but my NT05s were less that $800 installed for my C4.
