The tire fairy came and dropped something off today...







i like that staggered look



tires for my girlfriend's 300zx



not bad since it was all FREE thanks to Michelin for the tire money one can accrue over a couple of years for working there

 

free is nice

 

Michelin owns BFG?

 

NICE. tire hookup? yes? maybe?

 

yeah, michelin owns BFG and Uniroyal. A couple of weeks ago they had their car show with the bf goodrich tractor trailer that hauls their **** to drift events and such. Saw a fat-*** tire with some japanese writing on it when i was snoopin around in there

 

yeah, used to get so much tire money per year, but i can still get discontinued tires. Like BFG T/A's for $20 a pop (currently on my 240 and miata)

 

michelin owns a controlling share of hankook. which explains fat-*** tire with some japanese writing on it. korean looks similar to japanese.

 

its all greek to me

 

some BFGs are really hankooks

 

t/a kdw?

 

no just the radial T/A's, but still think their ok for $20

 

Yep. And Bridgestone owns Firestone and Fusion.

 

for $20, that would be a great drifting tire.

 

well i have 6 of them , so i'll keep them until i wear them all out at the track

 

so hook us up with pricing on the bfg r-compound.

 

yeah sure, do you guys really think that you'd get those before me?
i can just get baseline plane jane tires fo cheap, not the sporty stuff

 

My wifes dad works for Michelin in greenville SC. He gets these good deals on tires alot. I think I need to hit him up again for some more tires.

 

I got a visit yesterday too. Would have loved free, but this was from the dicounttiredirect deal.

 

buying in bulk ?
