    Go to TFOG. You cannot go wrong.

    Give TFOG a call. They were doing a special last month on mounting tires. They also give a CSC discount. I did check prices on line and locally... they were all within about $10 bucks of each other.

    I have a michelin take off set and a bridgestone take off set. Both are in excellent condition. Michelin has 25 practice laps, Bridges have 2 7 lap races. $100 each set. I can also get them mounted for you...pm me.

    TFOG is a really good shop Jim is on top of his game. Also, it will be cheaper to remove the tire when you have a shop do it. Its not hard if you know what your doing. And it gets the you the tire back quicker.

    +1 for TFOG. With the CSC discount, you won't find it much cheaper online and you can't beat the $5 mounting deal he has going on right now. And you are supporting a local business. Yeah, you can save a few bucks buying online here and there but there are times when it's really nice to be able to get something locally and to be able to tap into the vast knowledge and experience of someone like Jim.
