I will have at LEAST 15 sets here at Route 66 for the Nationals.

As of July7th, there is the reality of these tires being built. I have them in hand.

The pricing was changed to $288 per tire sometime in the last 2 weeks. Something I was not thrilled about. There could have been sufficient warning.

As of now, I am sending out 26 sets, and 4 sets were installed at Route 66.

So as of this moment, roughly half of them are gone.

The tires are D5 compound, 30 x 9 bias ply slick with a 95" rollout on all the ones that I handled. For those that don't know, this tire is for stick shift applications. The tires have been in and OUT of production for years. The last supply of them dried up in 2009/2010. When I was looking for a set in 2010, I waited six months for Goodyear to do something and then gave up and got M/T tires instead.

Update time. I know some are out there in use already, and have been for over a month. I suspect there area about a total of 10 sets still left that are unaccounted for.

If you are going to race at Brainerd, or Indy and want to get a set, let me know so I can plan for you accordingly.
