Title: Purchase Race Slicks
Post by: ssduc750 on May 10, 2006, 06:13:35 PM
Other than at the Track, where do you guys/girls purchase your tire? I'm having a hard time finding Slicks for sale on the internet. I can find Race D.O.T's all day long, but slicks??

How about giving the vendor you normally purchase tires from a call? I usually call Race Tire Services for my slicks and they ship it out to my work.

Slicks are distributed through race channels via race distributors. 

Even DOT race tires...well, there are the ones you can get on the internet, and then there's the ones you can get from race distribution.  Race distribution will have the most up to date tires.  Some manufacturers make different "race DOT's" available through commercial channels while the other race DOT's only come from race track distribution.  Knowledge is higher at your race distribution level too. 

I go this route myself... http://www.masonracintires.com

Thanks Dave. I emailed them to get some prices. Not doubt better to do business with some one that deals in a few items as opposed to 1000's. I see they will also be a BHF in June. Good deal.
