    V710's 205/55/14 $89 each at tirerack?!

    Is this a mistake or what? Anyone buy any at this price or is it just a glitch or something? They also have them listed at the normal price, so I'm thinking it's a mistake. I'm about to order like 12.

    I'd call before you place an order.
    And consider that size is not so popular so they might have been sitting around for a few years?

      The issue is that they have the exact same tire listed twice - once for $89 and the other for $145 or something. They say it's discontinued.

        Right, that's why I saw to call them. And if they do have them, I'd bet they've been sitting for a while.

            link me


            edit: Damn, 225/50's don't fit with on an e30 with weaves without spacers. At least my v710's in that size don't (on the front).

              you only need a couple MM. if you are running a stud conversion (you should anyway) it's not a big deal.

                  Why should I be running a stud kit? Unless you are a monkey or need to change your wheels in under 30 seconds I don't see a need.

                  Either way, by the time I buy spacers and a stud kit I'm already spending more then I would on V710's, which fit and heat up quicker.
