Default Very Cheap Winter Blizzak Tires!

I bought new Potenza rear tires for my 06-08 rear track wheels (Forged Rays) 265/35/19, however after six months I got a piece of metal stuck in the side wall which destroyed one of my $400 tires. I was on tirerack.com and found Blizzak winter tires on sale for $105 Orig. 300+. I picked up a set for my rear tires for replacement and for the winter! Just thought I would pass this info to anyone else who is interested on this great deal!

Good deal. I'd also suggest that you pick up a set for your front as well if you plan on driving in snow or ice.

Even better, find yourself a set of used Touring v.1 stock wheels. These came on the early performance and touring trim models and can be found pretty cheap. Front and back are both 18x8 and you could put a square set of Blizzaks on them for very little money. Those wheels will fit over your stock Brembo's.

I did a search on craigslist, and the people in my area wanted to much for there older touring wheels. I actually had touring wheels and sold them in excellent shape for $350 on craigslist. I'm fine with the rims I have now with the Blizzaks which will be going on them.. So far im the only roadster that ive seen with '06-'08 track wheels.

That usually means that they're are being discontinued, i.e. closeouts.

I do like the v.2 track wheels. Mine are being mounted today with some Yokohama ADVAN ADO8s

That's bizzare that they've got that size so cheap. I just bought 225-50/18 for $139 for my 370. Still an extremely good price. Another site had the same tires on closeout for $247.
