Hey Charlotte crew, I am in need of a used Michelin 245/40 18 tire to mount on my extra wheel to use as a spare. I called many of the local used tire places with no luck. I guess Corvette owners don't take their Corvettes to places like that . I figured this might be a place to find one possibly.

I just ordered tires from Tire Rack and looking to have them installed next Friday or Saturday at the location listed below. PM me if interested. I've also attached a picture of the tire

That's some impressive grip from those tires, being able to hold the car upside down like that!

I ended up getting the tires changed out earlier today. NTB at the address above is holding one front tire for a few days. Give them a call if you want it.

I just realized I never did formally thank you for the tire. I went and they held back 2 tires so I got 1 of them and now I have a spare. Thank You so much for you help & generosity.

Quite welcome - I hope it gives you piece of mind and you never need it as a spare.

For anybody interested in driving on the Charlotte track March 10th

Thanks again for attending the Laps for Charity event in November. You’ve experienced the high banks of Charlotte Motor Speedway and now you may try your skills on the remodeled infield road course! Access to the newly remodeled infield road course is just one of the many benefits of membership in The Speedway Club at Charlotte Motor Speedway. You can drive your own personal car on the 1.14 mile road course with no speed limits and no lead car! This new course (map attached) features 11 turns and only two cars are allowed out on the course at one time. Our next track day is scheduled for Saturday, March 10th.

In addition to the road course, Speedway Club members enjoy annual events such as the Easter, Mother’s Day and Thanksgiving Day buffets, half price room rentals for banquets or meeting spaces, 10% off in the CMS gift shop as well as a host of other benefits. We offer a variety of affordable memberships and even payment plans if needed. Please give me a call at 704/455-3252 to learn more about the Speedway Club and the infield road course or to schedule a personal tour.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.
