Default FS- Continental(Hoosier) GrandAM GT 325/680-18 Slicks -$50 each

I have got (4) Continental(built by Hoosier)325/680-18's slicks. They are off a front running Camaro and in really good shape with only 2 sessions. They are too big for me. They are really fresh, 6 weeks old from the Laguna Seca GrandAm race. Here are the specs: the O.D. is 26.76", by comparison a 315/30-18 is 25.45", a 315/35-18 is 26.68,a 335/30-18 is 25.9", a 345/35-18 is 27.50" . The slicks are a brand new construction and are different than the R6/A6 or R80/R100 series. Continental(Hoosier) told me that they designed the GT-01's to be multi purpose for the GT spec GrandAm cars, there is only one compound and one construction for the entire year for the series, including the 24 hours of Daytona, they were designed to withstand the heat(they run at 220F+ at Daytona) and loading of Daytona at the expense of speed at the other tracks. They fit a 12" wide rim. The rubber is definitely harder than than the A6. 28-30 psi hot, if you have the proper camber(3+.)
Once they are warmed up, they should provide some fantastic grip at the rear, the pros at Laguna Seca were really able to put the power down early using these tires. The cheapest shipping I have found is Greyhound freight, you need to pick it up at the bus station. http://www.continentalrace.com/downl...IONAL-DATA.pdf
Feel free to call me directly at (925)354-1571 if you have questions or want to deal.Price Dropped, I need them out of here!

Has anyone to put these on 18x12 CCW's and throw them on a C5Z?

TTT- Anyone have any interest? They are steamrollers, but if you can fit a 345/35 or a 315/35 on 12's without interference, it should work. These are very fresh, 2 HC pro driven slicks. I have not run the smaller 305's on my car yet, so no feedback but unless you can't put enough work in the tires to get up to temperature(pro's are well over 200), I can't see how a V710, an R888, an RA1 or an R6 is going to have more grip, a fresh A6 probably probably does because of the rubber compound.
