>>... I stopped in at the Discount Tire

Pavilion and asked about both Goodrich Comp R1's and Kumho Victoracers

and others.   The answer was "Yes, we can get anything you want from any

of our stores.  We sell a lot of Kumhos."    So if anybody is seriously

looking, that's a place to start   :>)  





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.
