Just an FYI to any SM drivers who are planning or may need to pick up tires at any upcoming Thunderhill event. Just did a NASA weekend and needed to pick up a set of RR's. Was shocked when i got the invoice and they charged $215 for each tire PLUS tx and mounting!

 

Apparently the track sets its pricing(not AIM tire anymore but buys the tires from AIM?).

I have no problem with a convenience premium but $40 a tire compared to other tracks was a little much :(

When we were there at the Majors they were saying they were going to stop stocking tires.

Yes...I was told that as well...they are only going to provide labor to mount and balance customer provided tires. I guess you could have tire rack drop ship to TH  :wacko:  I guess they figure they can sell what is left for what we will pay. I saw a lot of SM7's on the rack...guess they will sit there until next years major?
