I am looking for some track tires ASAP. I need a set of toyo r888 for the front of my snake. 295/30/18 would be great or a complete set of something else. Keep in mind I have to drive on these to spring mountain so I can't be running Hoosiers out there. Let me know what you might have. I need them no later than next Tuesday or Wednesday .

You can order them online from Tire Rack for $520 for two. Shipping is usually two days <1
A little birdie told me that Jon B had a good used set for sale.
Called JonB and he said he only has new ones $1300 shipped. >o

Hey Glenn,
Are you still planning to attend or did something come up.

Got a full new set. I couldn't put new fronts and used rears. Would have been a bad idea. Bought them local $1300 plus tax and mount balance.

Good call. New fronts and old rears can create a handling challenge for a car that is already one of the most difficult to drive fast.
I"ve been practicing driving Laguna Seca on the Play Station 3 and sometimes intentionally switch to grippy front tires and hard rear tires just to get some practice driving a "loose" car. I tend to crash a bit more often with this set up.
Unlike real life, I'm glad I can simply push the "reset button" and start over .....
See you at the track,
