Does anyone have a source for the 315/25/19 Conti's. Tire Rack has them backordered. Thanks

Are you looking for a set or just one tire?

Wink

I really would like two tires. Are you offering to give up a few of the ones you stashed away?

Definately don't go to Bydesign for the tires, $675 a piece, what a joke.

Hey now come on,

That is not so bad. My friend, Ben Dover, bought some there and was very pleased with the service.

I got mine from By Design, cheaper than that, but anywhere you go is going to be from $625-700! You gotta pay to play

You should shop around, or settle for some Yokohama AVS Sport 315's for like $500 a pop!

I purchased mine from Gert, Yoks AVS rear only for around $500 each. That's about the going rate. Check with BD. Like AWD said "You gotta pay to play."

I don't understand the appeal of the Contis, the Yoks are much better performing.

They are only $328 at the Tire Rack. Someone is getting shafted. I remember guys paying more before but that ended a few months ago.

Not true, CEC has them for around $425 a piece. It seems everything I got quoted from Bydesign was a rip off.

I have a brand new pair Conti 315/25 - 19. I bought them to just have when I need them. I paid about $760 for the pair including my local sales tax.
I may be able to help as I don't need rears for a while.
PM me and we can discuss it.

call Globe Motorsports in LA. Ask for Mike MacFarland. Tell him you know Wilber and he may be able to help you.
