Default Best/fastest place for RA-1's?

Alright, I think these are the tires for me. I need them in by the 13th to my door and don't want to pay an arm and leg for them. I need them heat cycled too. I'm in so cal (LA area). I need tires for stock wheels.

Where is the best place to get these from?

I'd recommend the 205's if you aren't using a front bar.

I got mine at Express Tire, same day. $860 mounted and balanced with road hazard warranty. If you have a front sway bar go with 225/245, without go 205/245. You don't need them heat cycled but you will want them shaved. The RA-1 is very good with heat. Tread sucks, it's a nightmare. Get it shaved off or you'll waste 2 or 3 track days doing it yourself..

Americas Tire Co is another choice. You should be able to get them same or next day.

BTW, excellent choice. I love my RA-1s. Great tire on the road and track.
