who knows the cost price (or expected price) for some generic Kumho 712's?? They have to fit 2 18x9.5 rims and 2 18x10.5 (i dont know the tire sizes :nut: )
Reason im asking is cause i think the place im going to is jerkin me around cause im 18, and he said cost for those are like 260 a tire or somethin... :dunno:
well Kumho 712's 275/35 18's run about 220ish a corner...

so 260 sounds reasonable? he said thats his cost price, but u never know right? :dunno:
hard to say, whats the exact tire size that you need. it can vary greatly depending on the sidewall heights (profile)

i was thinking of the V700, but he said that theyre 500 or so, per tire :dunno: apperantly theyre reversable on the inside, so u have double the tire.. crayzay :nut:

They're a DOT approved competition tire, meant for solo 2 and track use, so the compound is really really soft. You'll kill them really fast on the street. I don't think they are reversible, I had a set and there wasn't anythign different on the inside. You can get them flipped on the rims if you are using them for competition so they will wear more evenly if you car is camber impaired, gets you a bit more life. But you can do that with any symetrical tread tire.

Yeah, except in 275/35R18 they are close to $500 EACH. Having driven on them for competition, I can honestly say they are twice the tire the Kumhos are, but if you can't afford $2000 for rubber alone it doesn't matter anyways. The 712s are a good comprimise between price, wear and performance IMO.

Using the usual conversion for tire from the US, i come up with 275cdn from a $160 US retail. There will be 6-7% duty as well (already factored into the $275), since the tires are not made in north america.
I can bring parts in cheaper as well as i have a customs broker and i have a US address.

Good for you. Am I supposed to feel something from what you wrote? I just posted a price, I wasn't asking for a lecture, nor at any point did I disagree with you. The fact of the matter is not what you can get for pricing, but whether wildcat is getting a deal on tires, which he is. Cheers
