I'm looking to pull my S out of hibernation soon and will be needing new 200 TW tires ASAP. I'm looking at doing an autocross event at the beginning of April and only have corded RE71's from last year and a set of winters. I want to buy a set of tires and get out there the first week of April but am wondering what types of deals may run before then or not. I have bought RE71's for the last few years and will probably go that route again if timing works out. However, I'd be open to trying out the Rivals as well if they have an offer that fits my timeline better. Looks like Bridgestone did their rebate deal from April 5 to May 7 last year.

Does anyone know and can divulge when Bridgestone and BFG will be doing the rebate programs this year?

Darn. It looks like Costco is running a $70 rebate on Bridgestones starting today. I haven't seen an exclusion on the Potenza line but will have to call in and see. I'm also not sure if they'll be willing to mount a 245 on my OEM AP2 7" front wheel. I wonder if it would help my case at all that I currently have a set mounted. I've had to take my AP1 wheels in there previously without the car to have them mount 225's. That was less of a stretch and at least had a higher aspect ratio to be more forgiving in mounting. The boys at Firestone told me how much of a PITA my last set was to mount.

I'm definitely still open to any deals to be had from an online retailer. I've been recommended a performance shop nearby from a fellow autcrosser that shouldn't have an issue mounting them. I'm not super optimistic that Costco will even if they are willing to try.

Walmart used to mount 245 Hoosiers on my AP1 fronts all the time. Cheap too.

Car Analogy

I thought Firestone owned Bridgestone...

no idea? the indy 500 tire does resemble the bridgestone re11/re11a butI was just under the assumption that they would only stock what is listed on their website and there are no bridgestone tires on there.
