WAAAHHHH! Why are viper tires so expensive?!

[toddt]

I just think 375 dollars for one tire is beyond the pale, ya know?

Do any Korean brands make tires that fit? I can't keep the pilots from spinning anyhow.

Because they are BIIIIIIIIIG.

Gotta get that 500 lb-ft of torque down some how. haha

BTW, the tire rack has the best prices I have seen.

No sense in comprimising the handling of the best handling car with a set of crappy tires?
Put the best on the Best.
The only thing on your car that touches the road is your tires, make sure you have the best.

LOL! I totally was, Joe...but seriously, they aren't that much bigger than my Z28 tires (335 vs. 285 on my corvette ZR1 rims) and double the price! I was getting 285's for $180.

Supply and demand, I guess...

If you just want "burnout tires", I can provide some "off-size" rears at $150 each. Brand New. 335-35-ZR-18 1.5" taller, 1" wider. They fit.

CAUTION: Since these cannot be matched w/ fronts, they are mismatched and inherently unsafe above normal highway speed.... but for drag days and smokey destruction....save your Pilots and fry these.........

I also have CORRECT rears of course.... C O R R E C T

Check out Sears I got a set of Pilot sports there it was $1,290 including tax, mounting, and balancing. $280 for the front and $310 for the back. They were on sale at the time.
