i thought the economy was bad
 

i am about to order a set of re11 at 1200 installed. how are they getting so expensive and i have to get one new set a year to keep up. arggggg why cant i get into cheaper hobbies like hiking

i am an idiot

if you got it, spend it and enjoy it! i do wish i had a cheaper hobby though...

It is. That's why the cost hurts more.

If you have it, go for it. Good luck.

You can always downgrade to 18's or 20's. The tires are cheaper from those wheel size. ...Well, not super cheap, but definitely a few bucks off than 19's.
And yeah, you have to obviously buy new rims as well.

I have 18" rims, but it would knock me out of class and the price difference is less than $20.

Well I didn't order it today, the RE11 went up in price and they want $1380 installed and taxed. I am going to bring my business elsewhere unless they bring it back down to $1200!!!

Dude non sport package Re11's on tirerack.com are 1070+ 60 shipping and install is around 90 total 1220 your getting ripped off

Start buying Hoosier A6's, then you can complain about tire costs.

Switch to sport bike racing? Then you only have to buy two tires. Medical bills may get expensive though.

i am gonna go nascar

With that price I can get Nitto NT05s!!! :driving:

haha are you kidding ?? i put a fresh set of michelins after every track weekend. 350$$ fml

RE11 > nt05 by a huge amount

That will REALLY cut down on your tire expense. Those guys go through 20+ sets of tires every weekend at $2k a pop :rofl2:

i am not talented enough like you, i figure to waste my money on other bs.

i finally orderd the re11, 1170 shipped to my house before install. 4 285 35 19, goodbye understeer, well most of it anyway.

time to start eating ramen to save up again

Start buying Avon Race slicks and understand what a real race tire costs. DOT stuff is peanuts
