Dragon Tires
 
Anybody else buying new tires for the Dragon?
my fronts are toast, rears about 50%.
certainly not Dragon worthy.
I considered the new Hankook RS-4, but with our crap dollar ordering from TireRack is not attractive right now.
So... I think I will go with the Re-71R again.
Even buying through Canadian Tire is cheaper than TireRack.
Checking pricing through local dealer too.
Wish we still had the Shazzy deal from last year!
Anybody find a deal anywhere?

Did you try calling tires23 and get a price? They usually have good pricing. I'll be looking for some new tires after the dragon I'm sure. The RS3 are holding up better than expected.

I was quoted 750 cash and carry from jspec for rs3 255 square

That's pretty cheap. RE71's from Tires23 for 245 square were about $840 if I recall. Then there was a Mail in rebate of $60-$70 at the time.

Cash and carry means no install so tires23 price is similar. I also don't think there is much of a price difference between 245 and 255.

yeah I think last year Tires23 was $840 mounted, balanced, taxes in for my 225F-255R Re-71Rs.
So far this year I haven't found better than $840 plus, plus so still looking.

Definitely, I want to try RE71's after RS3 gets bald :)
Never had them before and many people say good things about RE71's.
Also have question about Tire23.
Do they use non-touch tire mount machine(I don't know how to call) or are they good on them?
Because I need to re-mount my tires on new wheels and don't want any mount scratches :(
The shop that I used to go for mount tires and change made mount scratches on my stock wheels last year so.
Let me know :)
Thanks
