Wheel & Tire & Susp. Blowout

I'm now officially "tired" of having so many tires in my garage and am ready to get rid of some of them.

4 17x9 Firehawk wheels with Nitto 555R2 275/40/17 tires mounted. Tires have well more than half tread left on them. 555R2 tires are the same as the Nitto drag radial but with a stiffer sidewall for autoxing or road course fun. $750 for the set

4 Kumho V700 Victoracers 275/40/17 about 2/32" tread left - great open track day tires - 25$ a piece SOLD

2 Hoosier A3S03 315/35/17 tires - more than half tread left - $100 for the pair

Stock 30mm front sway bar with poly bushings - $10
Stock 19mm rear sway bar with poly bushings - $10

Sounds like a good deal, wish I had the cash, those tires would work great for autocross!

The Kumhos still have a lot of life left in them and if you're thinking about doing track days in your Vette all you'd need would be another set of wheels and you'd be set.

I'm open to trades too. Much left for me to buy still. Mostly interested in 52mm or 58mm throttle body, headers, cam in 224-230 @ .050" range, 1.6 rockers, aftermarket steering wheel, aluminum driveshaft, and a stock long block I can use to start a rebuild.

Yeh, these kind of Hoosier tires aren't a street tire if you value your kidneys. But, if you want to have the fastest autox time they're the best tire out there. New they go for about $250 each.

I might be interested in the Victoracers. How old are they?

They were new spring of last year. They still grip quite well. I just got anxious to upgrade to 315 tires.

You're welcome to come by and take a look at them if you want. Send me an email at mikevtaylor@comcast.net with your contact info and we'll figure out how to arrange it. If you want all four, I could go $80 for the package. They're just taking up space in my garage now and I'd rather someone else get some use out of them.

I sold the Kumhos today but I'm still looking for a buyer for the Nitto/Firehawk wheel combo. Make an offer. I need the money to finish off my cage.

are they the newer LS1 firehawk wheels or the style that was on the LT1? Silver finish I assume?

The LT1 style. They look like this:



I do have the center caps even though this one is not shown in the picture. The wheels are in excellent shape and the tires have about 2/3 tread left on them.

Just bought some 17x9.5" wheels to use as my race wheels and am still looking to sell the 17x9 wheels with the Nittos mounted. I've used them once at Gingerman since I last posted so the price is now $600 for the set. There's still at least half tread on them.

Hoosiers are still also for sale.
