They're about 3.5 years old. Understand the intent of the rule, but regarding safety with a 46 year old car tires are the last of my worries. My rear drums qualify and I'm more concerned about losing brakes on the road course than having a tire issue.

Tough justify $500 for the entry and $1300 for tires just to run an OK track. I'd spend it on track days and expenses at Oregon Raceway Park, The Ridge, or T-hill first.

I don't agree with being able to circumvent the 'safety' regulation by using a lower quality date code conforming tire.

Local Discount Tire (America's Tire in west coast) quoted me a hair above $800 for 4 NT05's (245/40/18 & 275/35/18) mounted/balanced. Just have to bring my new wheels down to them.

I think I paid $1150 for a set of the big'uns on the web.

When you drive the Lotus on the Hoosiers - and finally feel brakes that stop better than you wanted them to -- and realize a 1.8 liter Toyota motor will smoke your SBC by margins of MULTIPLE SECONDS -- on a real track -- you won't want to bother trying to make your street car into a race car. LOL

I used Summit for pricing. When I do replace I'll most likely end up with a run flat style but that's most likely a couple years away.

Oh I know! I have a bike in the garage that my Camaro can't even sniff, especially in the adrenaline category. The USCA deal is about being around the people and watching the 'players' cars run for me.

That being said.........once you drive my Camaro you'll sell the Mustang.
