Factory direct Bridgestone Tires

Hey SCG...my brother is the President of a company that includes Commercial Tire in Barrigada. After meeting the club members at Jeff's pirates Cove on Sunday he offered to help bring in BRIDGESTONE Potenza RE11 and Potenza 070 tires for Subaru WRX and STi models, which I think are 225/45 17s.

I will get the price for a set of these tires and post them here. Once I post whoever forsees wanting a set, please post and let me know so he'll have an estimate of how many sets to bring in, since these are top end specialty tires, they do not purchase in bulk.

If in stock they may take about three months to arrive, but if not they could take up to six months, because they get delivered after the factory production runs. So, you all need to think ahead and plan to buy instead of thinking they'll come in right away.

After we get the price we'll be able to do the math and see if they are cheaper than ordering from outsources, like the Tire Rack. The advantage also lies in the fact that you can have them shipped and stored to the shop instead of your post office and you have to pick them up. But, if you let them sit too long someone could end up picking them up if your not careful and wait for too long.

He also can get NEXEN brand tires at factory direct cost. So if you know of a Nexen that you like let me know on this posting.

Shooto...drive it like you stole it...

It was good to see Scott there at Jeff's Pirate Cove, I am looking to replace my Potenza RE, but if it's going to take 3 to 6 months i'll just wait until i get back. But before i get tires i'm look at that 07 STI that you are driving.

Do they have a 255/35 R 18 Potenzas?

There was a S2000 at the Honda Tech Meet with nice Potenzas on it the size where 225/40R17 there where RE070 it had the semi radial/slick design.

Update it didn't have that feature, but it was an RE070 does these tires come equiped on the 06-07 STIs.
