Looking for a Local Tire
So after 10 months it finally happened. Caught the curb while parking on the street. I have a small scratch (less than 1 inch) on the rim. It really sucks.
My biggest issue here is that the curb knocked a huge chuck of rubber off the sidewall of my stock tire. I am pretty sure they wont let me pass safety inspection at autocross next week with this kind of sidewall damage. So here is my question: Did anyone local change out their tires and might have a single stocker laying around? I am on the fence about just buying 4 new autox oriented summer tires but my current ones have so much tread left that I don't really want to trash them. I would be willing to meet and pick up. Some one make me an offer. My current ones have about 6500 miles on them. EDIT: I know this really belongs in the classified section but I want to keep it local. If I cant find a local tire then I am just going to buy dedicated summers. Thanks guys!

Nope, I haven't had any time to go pick that tire up yet. I also had to do some work on sunday. I am hoping to make it to the renegade event this weekend but who knows if I will be able too...

I will probably have to end up taking you up on this. I'll let you know as we get closer to Saturday. Even if the autocross fills up I will still head down there and grab the tire from you if possible.
