Must of been super express freight, thats quicker then you could drive from Tempe to Qld. You must be eager to go racing.

They look good.Are they in stock?
How much if you don't mind me asking.
Do they look street legal?
Are you expecting to do circuit racing or quarter mile?
235 s would be better for track I am told as there is less rolling resistance.
I might drive out tomorrow and have a look also.
They are always busy but seem to help me all the time.
When you put them on a do a few ks make sure you let us know.

Price is right at least :D

Does a DOT tyre always qualify as roadworthy here in 'OZ' ?

Look to be about the same price as the RT215 but has less tread and more rubber.

Usually DOT approved relates to the US DOT and they are not roadwaorthy in Aus. These have a speed rating and as far as I am aware are completely legal here. I am saving up for some myself :D

I have some spare 17s with 2 x nearly dead SP9000s and 2 x good SP9000s... the first two die tomorrow at heathcote, the second... maybe will be sacrificed to the Calder God :cool: When they are done I will get some for myself
