Hey Frank,

Did you get your car out of the shop yet? New numbers?

Who here has experience with the RII?

How does it handle in the wet? I know it's not a very forgiving tire in water, but I'm wondering if it's a death trap if caught in rain on the way home from a track event.

Depends on if they are new or not. Brand new with 5/32 of tread they work fine. Halfway worn down you go slow behind big rigs or SUV when there is a sheet of water on the road..........

Thanks for the "head`s up," Howard!
Sounds like I need to talk with Andy when you`re not looking!

If you`re around at lunch time I`ll buy you lunch at Rusty`s pizza!

OK Guys,

I'm putting the final list together...

Here's the deal, I will collect all the $, and pick up all the tires directly from Nitto. We will all share the cost of the truck to get the tires from Nitto to my house. You can then come pick them up at my house in West Los Angeles.
This is the way Nitto has said it must happen. They will not ship individually, and said I must pick up all the tires at one time.

The shipping should not be too much, depending on how many people we have, less then it would cost for UPS.

Please let me know what you would like, and I'll get you a total.
Thanks,
Joel

Here is the pricing again. These prices do not include tax or shipping.
275/40/17 $165.00
275/35/18 $210.00
315/30/18 $265.00

Sorry about the slow responce Nick, the 315/30/18 NTs will go fine on those 11.5s.

This will be a local deal, since we have to pick the tire up here in CA.

Sorry Guys, I've been busier then a one legged man in an *** kicking contest. I got the order form from Nitto last night for the tires, so we need to make this happen...
