If u pay shipping, sure. I just dont think they are worth more than 25 each. I will go dog it up tonight

I went back to look at it, the middle and inside actually aren't on the wear bars, but very close. The outer edge doesn't have much left. They definitely aren't dry rotted as I finished in the top 5 out of 90 cars on its last outing. $40 for both. If you want me to ship it, mail me a fedex label.

Sorry for the shameless plug.

Btw, this is why I hated the 265F setup. The car was so out of balance that the front tires wore very quickly, I have almost the same amount of miles on my 285F and they have at least 20% more all across

So now that I have a little more information and am a bit more well informed about how this all works, I see that I don't have to stay with the factory tire width.

This brings up a new question. Are there any advantages/disadvantages of wider tires when it comes to autocross? Also, keeping in mind that I will be spending the most time street driving (as this is my primary vehicle), is there a certain width that would be better for autocrossing?
