Default Buy from tirerack.com Europe

Hello everybody, I have a problem with the rear wheels of my crossfire.
Right now I have some Hankook Ventus S1 evo already spent, and its price in Spain is 255 euros ($ 300 mounted and balanced +/-)().

Yesterday a good friend "Sean760" taught me the tirerack.com website and saw that the price of the Hankook Ventus S1 evo which is well below the European price about 90 euro 129 $ !!!!!

I searched for tirerack.com and see that not to send Spain (Europe) and I was wondering if someone could help me at this point.

The wheels of my crossfire lasted a month, in times of crisis Why pay more if you can pay less?

Thank you all and forgive my English

You might want to repost this on the Europe forum.
Certainly somebody has already looked into this.
If you want a forum member to forward these, somebody in a major Atlantic coast port would probably be cheapest. As quickly as these cars can go through tires, you might want to order two sets to save on shipping.

For my next tires I am going to try these:

They've gotten more expensive recently in the US, but perhaps the Euro market has friendlier prices.
Here are Spanish dealers if you are interested:

I previously had Nitto Invo tires, and was very impressed.

Smooth, quiet and sticky. Also great on wet roads. I recently bought a set of Sumitomo HTR-ZIII tires that were less expensive than the Nitto's and better rated by TireRack, but I was disappointed.

If you can't tell, I'm a sucker for a cool tread pattern.

I call to Tirerack.com today and I reported the acceptance of the shipment to Spain, but I decided that tires mounted.

Jeff Cobb impressed me and I like the Nitto Inv but in tiretrack.com no exist.
how much Nitto Inv?

My question is:
Nitto Inv VS Hankook Ventus S1 evo?

I have only used Hankook.

Greetings and thanks!

From what it says closeout sale for the Hanook tires which probably means they will not carry them any more or it's going to get a new model. That is a really good price and the reviews seem to be positive for that tire. These are the tires I run but in California it's very dry and these work really well in dry weather http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....el=Pilot+Sport. A little pricey though but not as much as the PS2's.

Nitto Invos will probably run $900-950 for all four mounted.

You can contact Nitto for non US/Canadian dealers here:

Hi guys, I am totally disappointed.
On the web tirerack.com no longer Hankook, resmonderme quickly and completed the inventory.
So we started trying to buy Nitto involved that I love her aesthetic.
I asked on the website and get no response.
I'm trying to buy (ebay) and tell me that the weight of the package is 70lbs (33 kilos) is not much? postage amounts to $ 250!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_536wt_1358

Total 230$ X2= 460$ (tires) +250 $ (shipping) = $ 710 someone can calculate the weight for the shipment to Spain?

Greetings and thanks for the help.

Sorry my English

Go to the Contact Us menu at tirerack.com and ask them the shipping costs. They will e-mail an accurate cost to you. Thanks for posting in English, you express yourself well.

Thanks Nightrider, I have already contacted tirerack.com and commented that they no longer have stocks of Hankook.

Now I'm thinking of buying some Nitto invo by ebay, but they want $ 250 shipping charge, is not it excessive? Is the price of one wheel more!

Someone may know the weight of two rear tires and calculate shipping to Spain?

Sorry if my English is not perfect

I bought a complete set of Hancooks from Tirerack last week. Delivered to my door was $492.80 in the US. I saved $100.00 over the General or Kuhmo brand. I'm getting them mounted this week after fixing the broken half shaft and lowering the car. I wanted to wait to get it all done at once for the alignment. Add the roll bars being put in, and I should have a pretty cool car to come home to.

MalaVela, Nitto's are made by Toyo.

Perhaps a local Toyo distributor can help you.

This site lists Euro dealers:
