Default ** Group buy on Bridgestone BT002 race tires. ** UPDATED **

I've been asked to set up a group buy on Bridgestone BT002 DOT Race tires, and have shot off a letter to a shop that already has a killer price on them to ask for free shipping on top of it.

If you are not familiar with the new 002's, you will be pleasantly surprised with their handling and grip! I put them on my 600RR at Grattan after 2 1/2 days on Supercorsas, and was able to cut my lap times a bit. The profile right out of the box is like they were already formed from railing on them.

Since they are new, we can get a super low price on them...it looks like around $230.00 +tax & shipping (I've asked for free shiping).

Along with a couple hardness options, they also have the 190-55 size some people have come to love.

I am in on this deal and may be picking up more than one set for myself at this kind of rock bottom price. I need to know who else is interested if we can get this set up.

Who's in?:

That's $235+ a set? If so then I am interested. Are they slicks or are they
tredded?

If it's good enough for Speed, it's good enough for me. Actually, he pressured me into it :greenflip :moon

I'm in! I'll take the standard 120/70 fr and 180/55 rr

How many people do we need to get this thing rolling?

these tires are sweet, i ran a set at streets of willow and i loved them and hit palomar like 6 times on them. for 235 a set they are definatley worth it. when do you plan on doing this though SPEED because i know they are pretty backordered right now, i wanted them for this next weekend for big track but the fronts were just not availible. i am trying a new combo that feels like it is going to be good, 208 gp front with e bridgestone 002 rear, it is a cheap combo and the tire profiles are about identacle. i will let you know how this set up works out :thumbup

I know someone that ran then on an RC51. They wear out pretty qwick, given he rides the shiet out of it. He recomends the med compound for the rear to get some extra life out of them. But given there over $100 less the a set of Supercorsas he loved them. :thumbup
