That's still a good price, just not quite as good as he was selling them before. Glad I could help you out, either way

Here's about the cheapest I've been able to find Corsa 3s. At least for a 190/55.

still on the fence on whether i get 2ct's or dc3's for the gap. only fucking thing that bugs me is im gonna super slab it at least half the way down there, im not thinking 400 miles is gonna box out my tires too bad though. 2nd half down im gonna take the byways and try to get them broken in properly, cause odds are i wont have em put on until a week or 2 before the trip.

Run the PSI's on the high end for the slab portion.

didnt even occur to me, you are the man.

PhiSig1071 · 05-08-2008, 11:06 AM

Yep, that'll help.

Either tire would be a good choice, you might like the DC3's better or you might like the 2ct's better, I'd say find which ever set you can get cheaper and try them out. If you're not happy, go with the other set next time.

2ct's, on average, are already cheaper.

ive ridden PPs and loved em, but heard great things bout the corsaIII's. i may just flip a coin.

Cutty72 · 05-08-2008, 11:15 AM

www.tireexpress.com is even cheaper than SBTG.

But yes, powers or 2CT's will be cheaper than Corsa III's.
And probably wear longer too...

I might go back to the PP's after the Corsas are finished.

I can't afford 3 sets of tires a year... so i'm going more sport touring.
