On my end Tire Rack has the fronts at $260.22 and the rears at $292.84. Perhaps the closeout sale is over?

ZLE has 19 inch wheels. What was on clearance was the 305 in 20 inch.

I just checked for my 2018 zl1 (non-1le) and those r the same prices i got. sale must be over. Im glad and sad, cause I was debating picking up some rear tires even though the ones on there now are totallt fine.

If my car didn't come with these $1495 optional wheels, that probably would have been a good idea.

UPS dropped them off this afternoon.

Wow Prometheus! Those make my 245/40/20 LT1 stockers look like pizza cutters!

They've lost the pointy end of their performance, but tirerack stores them properly, so they're not dangerous by any means. I did something similar in my first year of autox, and it was perfect. Saved money, and still had something relatively competitive.

I've used their old stock G3s and G3Rs many times on track. They are just as fast as the ones I get direct from Goodyear, which have some not so recent date codes.

PROMETHEUS · 01-06-2021, 08:22 PM

This is my 3rd purchase of close out SC3s. All of which have been used on the track, without incident! For those who track and use up tires, this is a way to save some $$.

Looks like I missed out!

I see slightly older tires like out of date can food. There may be a slight degradation in taste but as long as it’s stored right, it’s fine to eat!

Consider it a “best by” opposed to an “expiration” date. You’ll never even detect a change in performance.

I agree with this, I picked up some older 3Rs from Tire rack and they were just as fast as the newer ones.

So right now the rears are being discounted. Do they discount the fronts (285/30 R20) from time to time?
