    Tires

    Where is a good source of shaved RA1's. I had been using Vilven but they are now out of the RA1 business. Names that are popping up include Phils, Treadzone, Tiresdirect and Appalachian. FMR

    Call Rodney at Appalacian. was like a 6 day turn around and about 215 per tire shaved to my door after $150 in toyo bucks for 8 of them IIRC...

    He also uses the same machine vilven does and was trained by vilven. I did have one tire I wasn't totally happy with on the shoulder shave but it went on the rear anyway.

    Great guy and shared a LOT of behind the scenes info on the R888 and RA1 debacle we never saw in public!
    Ah, fugg it.
