I thought most places were getting $300-350 for the rears. I'm getting leary of EBAY scams.

Yes, two sets, with no problems whatsoever. They are apparently a fairly large operation that buys up excess stock in bulk from some of the tire manufacturers or wholesalers. If you need 'em, buy 'em.

Yes I did too. I bought a few from there and a few from TireRack. Great tires but I have not gotten to use any of them yet. I have three sets.

 

[DChan415]

Yup I've bought tires from them before too. No problems.

Unless you have changed rims you need 17" tires

The auction is for just one tire.

don't you guys remember this post from Janurary of last year

we had many people and companies order them in large quantities at that time with the thought that pricing will return to normal levels in the future .... and that's exactly what has happened ..... when we offered those discount prices last year the tires were a 2-5 years old at that time and now it's a year later .......

I would recommend that the production date of the tires be checked and remember if they are 6+ years old they will not have the same grip as a current tire ....

we have exhausted our supply of the old production tires at this time and are back to the current production tires which is reflected in our costs and current pricing .... (sorry, I know this is not good news for you tire shredders out there)

I can not comment on this company directly as, I have had no dealings with them but, I can assure you that we, The Tire Rack, will continue to be here for our VCA and motorsport enthusiast brethren

I called this place on the phone today to ask them about date of manufacture. They did not return my call. I will keep you posted. If it sounds to good to be true.....

 

[BADVENOM]

I have a set of brand new rears (18") I purchased from partsrack recently that are brand spanked new if anyone is interested..450 plus shipping..

 

[GraphiteGTS]

Most all tires have production dates on the sidewall. It gives the week number and the year of production. When I buy a car or new tire I always check the production date. It is usually preceeded by "DOT"

LOL !!!

I wish I had a dollar for the wasted energy we eash just expended over ONE cheap (unknown) tire from an (unknown) seller. Amazing. Even more amazing, the selling price of that 1 mystery tire will now DICTATE what buyers are willing to pay for the next 6 mos......
