Where is the best place to get racing tires for cheap?

Question

I am trying to get a set of four tires for my car and was wandering what is the best place to go for them.

Answer 1

If you are looking for R-Compound Tires, most are available from Tirerack.com - with the exception of Toyo Proxes RA1s (can try tiredeals4less.com for these).

However, if you are looking for actual cantilvered slicks, you'll need to turn to an actual race supply store (I kow Summit offers qutie a few from both their catalog and website). The most economical way though is to check locally for second hand options as any pro drivers will often discard these at deep discounts after one practice session.

Keep in mind that most of these tires are not appropriate for street use though - the cantivlivered slicks are not dot approved and are not legal for street driving. And some of the R-Compounds (Hoosiers, Avons, and Khumo V710s) can be used on the street, but it would not be wise do to the possible lack of grip when encountering any liquid or dust/sand, etc. Also, many of these tires could heat cycle out very quickly under day to day use.
