Not at your level princess.

The $1300 number was factoring local mount & balance also.

When I'm serious about buying absolutely! Late last night I went to Summit, both Discount and America's sites gave me a call the local dealer for a price quote notification. I've dealt with the local Discount when I originally bought the NT's....and won't go back, the America's store is good for rigs like Betsy.

Just about everything I buy for the car and hobby shop is online as there are no brick and mortar stores within a 100 miles that support my car hobbies. Lots of gun stores, heads shops and breweries though.

Straight from the USCA rule book:



9. Tire age - Tires must have a manufacture date within three (3) years of the date of the USCA event being entered. Here’s how to check the date:

Wow - what a load of crap.

My 345x30x19's are like 3 years old by manufacture date - yet have like 1500 miles on them from last years Power Tour - they are a new old set from Tirerack.

No way in hell am I replacing them for that event.

Stupid hurts......but it does get rid of the 3:31 gearing.
