Andrew,
I did not get a great price on them, I've had them on lay-away at Discount tire at 75 and Midpark.

Price is $252/tire mounted, balance, stems, etc. These are the 108s not the 96s.

The 108s at Tirerack are on sale for $181, then you add shipping, mounting, balancing, tire warrentees etc. Probably could come out $30/tire cheaper with this route. Wasn't worth the hassle IMHO.

Hey Mark.
Do these have the new F1 tread design I've heard so much about?

I didn't notice a difference, but I will do a side to side comparison to the old tires tonight. I saved one front and Doug's loaner. They are about an inch taller than the old ones though.:)

Not a new tread pattern. Sidewall 295/45 "ZR" 18. Actually, I think that they are "W" really. the stamping is 108W.

I can offer $200 for the slicks today.

Can't let them go that cheap they are still brand knew only reason for selling them is they were bought just to see if they would be any better then the 28 inch

Hey, I have 28x14.5x16 Hoosier QTpros, I was thinking of buying these to see if they were any better. I still have the 3.55 gears, do you think that they would be an improvement? Are they 26x11.5x16 as L8 stated?

I think 3:73's and a lot of power or NOS would be the only reason to go 28". If you have good traction bars and 3:55's or close to stock 3:73's the 26's are faster.

With 3.55 ratio I would run 26 inch
