what I dont like about the 10 sets deal is that I use about 5 fronts to 10 rears. if I can mix and match then it would be better. then again I don't want to be putting out 3 grand at the same time either

Well 1st... it's 345 a set. :p
2nd... let's just say I'd rather NOT know this, so any leads in getting me a tire sponsor (successfully), and I'll give said individual a free set!

you need to find people who are dying to be apart of the motorsports scene. Not motorcycle industry folks. Think outside of the box. You offer someone the opportunity to be apart of a high-speed, high excitement sport. Not everyone wants to be the driver/riders, sometime they just want to be involved. And considering it cost much less for someone to sponsor you than a car racer, you got a selling point.

Although, I am still having a hard time finding more sponsors, but I know they are outthere. Just have to find the right person and have the right pitch.

take a bit of time and effort. But its like any other sales task, try a whole lot, and someone will respond.
