I placed an order earlier today, so we will see if they have any inventory to ship.

Seems like a great price. Maybe a closeout sale for a discontinued product.
 

Indy GT

Yea, I got one...too

Yep those are the correct rear size. Per other GT owners, the favored sizes are:

Front- Potenza RE050, 265/40ZR18, N1 (Porsche) which has a (101Y) speed rating

Rear- Potenza RE050A Scuderia, 345/35R19, (101Y)

Are these the correct fronts? They do not say N1. https://www.onlinetires.com/product...40-18+bridgestone+potenza+re050a+101y+bw.html

Tire Rack designates the N0 and N1 as RE050A.

Yes. I think that's where Sinovac purchased his 'Stones.

Sinovac purchased his stones at law school.

See post #366 for the N1 stock #:

This is why I rely on my research department. However, none of the 265/40-18s has PN 124730.

The two with what appears to be the matching tread are PN 127730 and PN 61226.

Are you at DuPont Registry C&C?

I went but there were no GTs :(
The part number I gave you is not listed on the website. Call and place the order.

Sinovac, did you grace c&c with your GT, or did you bring your boringly slow GT500?

I brought the Cobra. The weather is finally turning here and it doesn't feel like an inferno. Cobra season.

Did you hand out free sunglasses or just burn out the retinas of the unsuspecting folks who cast an eye upon your unpainted coke can? The shine you have on that car is over the top.

Two rears just purchased. I go through them fast enough to ensure they die a proper death (i.e. NOT of old age). This is a major bummer if true...

Stupid Enzo owners, not driving their cars enough to sustain demand. Let's run a poll on Ferrari Chat and see how many Enzos have passed 20,000 miles. Or even 2,000 miles.

How many miles are you guys getting out of the rears? I am at 3 years and 3k miles and seems like I will replace them due to age before mileage.

At that rate, I wouldn't worry about wear unless those 1000 miles a year are REALLY hard.

I may get 4000 with a stretch of 5000 on the rears. That is consistent with what I was told by the gt guys

Hey Sinovac, sorry we missed each other at C&C this morning I brought the Mclaren SLR instead of the GT :-(

I scoured the lot twice looking for a GT, I didn't see any. I did see a nice Cobra:lol

Note: There are going to be many websites that list the tires but that will not be able to get them. I purchased two locally - and they are coming out of a warehouse in Chicago. I told them I would take 4 but they said 2 was all they could find.
