Did you get the price from edgeracing.com? Also, what size(s) were you looking for - 225/45/17?

Hey theo, its nick with the silver 90 miata from thunderhill... i got mine from

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts/529426158.html

This shop sells just about every size and that was the cheapist i could find for my 15's, but i would also compare those prices with vulcantire.com i have bought rt165's from them too.

Good luck-
-Nick

But if i were to do it again, i would get the rs-2's they don't "overheat" as fast as the falkens. But i dought you even got yours to overheat on the 2nd anyways right?

www.vulcantire.com for 615's. I have ordered 3 sets from them and they ship fast, not to mention their great prices.

You must take into consideration mounting/balancing and disposal fee's for old tires. I have brought a price quote into Wheel Works and they have matched it with vulcantire's prices as well. Saving me money on mounting/balancing.

Yeah but they charge you a **** load for mounting and balancing. I bought my tires from vulcan and had a shop here mount, balance them and take my old tires for $50.

RS2 heat cycle faster, but for anything other than competition, it's not a big deal.

what size are you looking for.... i have a set of barely used RS-2's for sale.... they are 225-50-16's, if you are running stock wheels they will be a perfect fit.
