Default Bellingham=Cheap Tires

If you need tires I highly recommend a trip to Bellingham. I picked up my
RE01-R's this weekend with absolutley no hassle. Saved almost exactley $600 over Kal tire . I have all the contact info for a great bridgestone dealer right off the
I-5.

P.S. These tires are sooooooooo much better than my Kumho's.

Mr Lahey, which Kumho's are you comparing it to?

I've gone to Discount tire before, they price matched Tire Rack.

Bellingham is over the border in Washington State, we'll pass by on the way to the Stonehenge in two weeks.

The RE-01R's are supposedly the best extreme/high performance street tire available. Lots of guys running this tire as the "TO HAVE" tire in the street tire classes in autoX.

Just checked on my MX's and in less than 5000 km of street driving, they are more than 50% worn with a lot of camber wear from my aggressive alignment.

I will either go with these tires or R-tires as my next set.

Too bad Bridgestone's are normally very heavy.

What size tires did you get and how much did you end up spending, after duty and taxes, if you don't mind me asking?
