Looking for a Local Tire
 
So after 10 months it finally happened. Caught the curb while parking on the street. I have a small scratch (less than 1 inch) on the rim. It really sucks.

My biggest issue here is that the curb knocked a huge chuck of rubber off the sidewall of my stock tire. I am pretty sure they wont let me pass safety inspection at autocross next week with this kind of sidewall damage.

So here is my question: Did anyone local change out their tires and might have a single stocker laying around? I am on the fence about just buying 4 new autox oriented summer tires but my current ones have so much tread left that I don't really want to trash them.

I would be willing to meet and pick up. Some one make me an offer. My current ones have about 6500 miles on them.

EDIT:
I know this really belongs in the classified section but I want to keep it local. If I cant find a local tire then I am just going to buy dedicated summers. Thanks guys!

Nope, I haven't had any time to go pick that tire up yet. I also had to do some work on sunday. I am hoping to make it to the renegade event this weekend but who knows if I will be able too...

Let me know man and honestly I still have the tire on the rim so I can bring the whole thing for you to use on Saturday if you want to autocross.

Thanks that would be great!

I will probably have to end up taking you up on this. I'll let you know as we get closer to Saturday. Even if the autocross fills up I will still head down there and grab the tire from you if possible.

I'm sending my renegade registration in now. I am going to have to borrow my friends low profile jack to bring with me... I am pretty sure mine is too tall.

Please bring that tire with you on saturday and maybe after we can figure out how to un-mount it.
