2rismo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 This group buy starts immediately and will conclude on the 1st of January OR when 10 pairs (20 in total) are paid for, whichever is the sooner. We need to have orders and payment for 20 individual tyres in total for the price to stand. The product on offer is pairs of Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials (Drag Radials) in either 275/40/17" OR 255/50/16". We can have any combination of these sizes to comprise the order. The 275/40/17" sized tyres are known by Mickey Thompson as "blemished" stock. I have personally inspected the stock on hand of these tyres and they are incredibly hard to pick why they are listed as blemished. These tyres are cosmetically different (although usually un-noticable unless you're inches from the tyre) but are still 100% stucturally guaranteed. The 155/50/16" size are normal stock. The prices we will be getting for these tyres are as follows: 255/50/16" - $245.00ea - (MSRP is $283.00ea) 275/40/17" - $225.00ea - (MSRP is $311.00ea) The company that is supplying the products for the group buy is Rocket Industries The products can be collected from Wollongong/WSID by prior arrangement or may be shipped road freight at buyer's expense. Associated costs for delivery will vary depending on your location. These tyres can and will typically drop tenths, sometimes quite a few of them off of your quarter mile ET. They're usable on the street so driving to and from a race meeting on them isn't a problem. I drive 107km to the track on them, let some air out of them, race, then put some air back in and drive 107km home!

yummy Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Are the 17s any good since they only are 40 profile?

2rismo Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 The 17's are very very good. They are MUCH better than Nitto NT555R's and I ran 1.68 60' times on those tyres. These are better again. The group buy end date is in the first post. Quite a while between now and then.
