I just realized that the Dixie National Tour is next weekend and I don't have tires yet. Where do you buy your shaved falken tires from when in a hurry???

I need these mounted by end of business Wednesday!!!

You're fooked honestly. You might start looking for someone who has a used set.

I bought my Falkens from Discount Tire Direct, had them sent to Vilven Tire for shaving and then sent to me. If you were buying Kumhos, TireRack could do it.

I may be able to help you out Adam if you don't have any other options. I have a new shaved un-mounted set that I bought right before Nationals last year. I needed them in a hurry as well (or so I thought at the time) so they weren't exactly cheap. They have been stored inside in plastic bags since I got them. I don’t know what size you are looking for but if you need the 205/50’s, I'd let you have them for what I paid for them. Otherwise, I'll just use them in a couple months when my current set is dead.

I recently heard there is a place in Greensboro named Hall Tire that will shave tires. I have no idea if they can do them on short notice but you might be able to get a set overnighted to them and shaved/mounted Monday or Tuesday. If you have trouble locating them, I'll see if I can dig up the contact information.

Looking forward to big class we have down there,

Jim

Well - I went ahead and ordered some unshaven tires from Jeb at Discount Tire. They should be in on Tuesday. I guess I can run the full tread tires at the tour.

James -- if these tires don't make it to me in time, I will definately buy your tires you have bagged up! 205/50/15 - right?

thanks!

I ran full tread the first 2 years I had the car but that was with the 215's. I do know there will be quite a few people on full tread 615's at the tour and with our light cars, I don't think it hurts all that much.



Yea, 15's. They really aren't for sale but if you need them in a pinch, you're welcome to them. I'm leaving sometime Wednesday afternoon so they will be available up until that time.

Jim

If you need tires shaved quickly Hall Tire in Greensboro will do it. I dropped my set of tires off at about 1 pm on Monday and they were done by noon on Tuesday. They didn't take as much rubber off as I wanted but it is just a touch over 5/32nds so better then 8/32nds. Oh and they only charge $10 per tire.
