The bad news is that my alternative route is getting pretty bad too. I will have to be taking side roads soon.

Hello btw. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I see a whiteout FR-S always going the opposite direction of me with fogs, blacked out headlights with HID's, and black stock wheels on Algonquin Rd.. and I drive between Palatine and Crystal Lake every day (although my FR-S has been put away this winter so I'm in my daily CR-V). I wonder if thats you?

Rob I don't think anyone makes 265 in 17's. Altleast for street tires.

That was just a quick glance, there are many many more.

No re11a in 265-17. 255 40 17's are going for about 175. I also found a crazy deal on re960 pole position in 255. 70 bucks a tire. Only about 60 left in the county but none in Chicago land area.

Can you order a set of the 960 to be brought in? That is a steal.

Grymm86 · 02-15-2014, 08:15 PM

My manager is going to check in on Monday about getting some ordered in at or near that price. Apparently after they go that deep into discount they can't just transfer them in. Now I'll have to check the inventory around Chicago for the other tires I quoted.... I plan on picking up some of the 245's for my autox tires. Not to gloat, though I am, I love my 50% discount!

And on a sad note. My baby took her first hit today. Minor damage to the rear bumper cover... most should buff out... but still....

I never see any other frs' on the road. I'm up in Waukegan and spend my days driving around looking at everyone riding high in their SUVs. Kinda depressing.

Hopefully it warms up soon and folks will start getting together.

I havent driven my car in over 2 weeks now. It's been stuck in the snow since the day I broke the 1000 mile mark hahah. So sad, but this is what I get for street parking in Chicago...

Looks like warm weather next week though. Hoping that will take care of a lot of the snow left on the streets!
