WTB OEM front tires
Anyone here know where is the best place to buy OEM Front Tires, aside from Tire Rack. Any information is much appreciated. My front tires are toast and I would prefer not to have to pay 1100.00 for tires at Tire Rack. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Eitan

Just make sure they are not too old, it seems these Corsas get "stale" after sitting around too long, they seem to get hard and grip level drops and ride quality suffers. I "stocked up" a couple years ago and threw a couple pairs in my warehouse for use at a later date and once I finally got around to mounting them up I noticed a slightly different feel. It's nothing major, some peope might not even notice and if you are just using them for the street you will never notice but if you have track days in mind you might want to pay closer atention to the tires age before purchasing. Just an FYI

I have been troling Ebay for weeks now and I have yet to find a set for the front. There are a few rear tires available but no front ones. Does anyone know of a Pirelli distributor other than Tire Rack? Any information is much appreciated.

Discount Tire is an authorized Pirelli Corsa dealer and distrubutor, not sure if they have BS sizes in stock but I'm sure they can get them.
