Thanks for the post Randy... It sure seems to make more sense to do it

your way.  Tell you what, I'll check all three (TR, Discount & C.U.T) and

post the results.  ...Unless someone beats me to it which is okay too!

They are probably blowing you smoke about the Kumhos.  C.U.T. (Royal

Tire)

has the exclusive rights to sell the Vistoracers in the US.  If Discount

Tires can get them then they will be getting them from C.U.T. and adding

the

appropriate markup.  Just buy them from C.U.T.    I did and it was

painless,

I bought a set of  for track events and are also to drive to and from the

event (and street tires when I'm lazy).  Their phone number is in

Grassroots

Motorsports and SportsCar. 



The same basically applied to R1 tires too.  I can't tell you the number

of

people who overpaid for R1's by buying them at the big discount places

who

apply big markups.  Just buy them directly from BFG (800-RACEBFG to

enrole)

 or from the TireRack who has an agreement with BFG to sell at the same

racer

prices.
