Any hints on where I can find the right deal on tires in SoCal? I'm in the Ventura area, and need some street meat.

One more question - Does anyone run NON ZP tires on the street?

I hate RFs. Sidewalls are too stiff. I keep a 12v compressor in the cubby in the back with a tirepatching kit although it have never been used so far. Also have a AAA card.

PM me if you need tires for the 18/19 sizes (my extras are Nitto Invos with about 1000 miles on them in stock Z06 sizes). Also have some used Mich Pilot Sport Cups in 18/19 but they are not good street tires and these are well used.

Tire Rack, then ship to local installer. They have a list on TR.

Or, as I have done, take Tire Rack quote to local installer that you culled from the TR
list and give them the opportunity to match the OTD price........

I was a faithful Tire Rack customer for years. Bought many sets of race tires from them each year. Had my own Rep that would ship based on a VM left to him. It was great. Through no fault of Tire Rack UPS greatly increased its bare tire shipping costs so that it really didn't make sense to buy from them any longer sad to say. Discount Tire will normally meet their price if it is any lower than DTs price however.

Why don't you check out these slightly used tires at a great price from Ryan, he is in SoCal.

I bought Bridgestone RE050 Pole Position run-flats from Costco. Lowest price, free road hazard coverage and they promised they would not scratch my chrome rims and they didn't scratch my chrome rims. After the install, headed over to the Chevy dealer for an alignment done to Pfadt street specs and everything worked out. After 4,000 miles, tires show no wear and I am satisfied.
