Default Need tires
Would like a set or two of used track tires. R6s preferably. 18" 315 or 335 rears and 18 285 or 295 fronts.

I'll have a set of Hoosier VRL's in 305/335 after July 21. There will be a total of 2 track days and 9 or 10 heat cycles on them. Lots of life left in them.

Do the 305s fit ok on your front without and mods?

Why are you getting rid of them?

Im not familiar with VRLs. Similar to R6s?

VRL stands for Viper Racing League. You can look them up on the Hoosier website. They are a harder compound than R6's so therefore they are slightly slower but last longer and run well for more heat cycles. The reason I'm selling these is that after July 21, I'll be selling my CCW Classics because I picked up some CCW Corsairs and the rears are smaller and won't fit the 335's. I will pick up a set of 305 VRL's for all 4 so I want them to be the same age.
Assuming they look similar to the way they look now, I'd let you have them for $250 delivered or $200 picked up.

They work good on mine. I run the AP front brake set-up and four rear Zo6 wheels. No rubbing. My car is lower than stock ride height on coil overs.

You have stock fenders? My ccws stick out almost 3/4 of an inch trying to get them by the wilwoods. Might just be the wrong offset wheel.

How much you going to want for the whole thing?
