I'll be dismounting an old set of Hankook R-S3's in the next week or so. 285/35/18. Worn shoulders, but decent tread left in the middle. They will work for AutoX, but have fallen off a bit (2 seasons old). Would make it through a DE at VIR without issues. Trying to be good and not horde old tires. A couple choice 6 packs would take them.

I'll take 'em. I have some shitty R-888's on my 18's that need to find a dumpster.

You going w/ the ZII's? I just did a test run on these the other day and was amazed at how well these performed. Can't wait to get these on track w/ some heat in them. What size are you going w/?

VK, they are yours.

Yep, 275/35/18 ZII's. I almost went with the bridgestones RE-11's for $200 less, but I knew they would be slower and didn't want to rely on that excuse. Should be better in the wet than the BFG's and as you pointed out, the widest of the bunch.
