    New 208 GPA's Front 120 / Rear 180 f/s

    I bought these at the end of last year. Never mounted or used. $250 + shipping or would prefer to bring to Grattan for $250. I will be there on 6/26, 6/27, 7/16, 8/13.

    Size
    Rear 180
    Front 120

    I am switching to Pirelli's.

    Thanks
    Erik

    These are great tires BTW. I've been racing on them for about a year now.

    So are you saying I should keep them? I just tried the super corsas yesterday and they worked great. You have been happy with the dunlops though huh?

    Not sure about them as a street tire, but for track days and slower racers I think they're pretty good. I was just trying to help your sale.

    I find them sticky, "neutral" in handling, and they heat up pretty quick. An added bonus is that they last a good while. I think I only went through two sets in about 6 race weekends. And since I've been getting them for 240-260 a set, that's pretty damn cheap!

    But I hear great things about the Pirelli's this year too. You know ignorance is bliss, and I don't know any better than these 208's which are a year or two old tech right now.

    I would think that if your lap time are around 1:30 and above at Grattan, the 208 are GREAT tires.
    Happy wife, happy life.

    I may keep them if you all keep saying they are good tires.

    They are good tires. I have used them this year and have been pleased so far. My lap times are dropping and starting to wear them a bit faster than I am used to, but that was expected. With the service I have gotten from Dunlop I may stay with them but go with the 209's or spring for the new N-tecs
