Dont u guys find 12th tires expensive? I mean i run Jaco for sedan and i can get them for 5$ a pair less then the jaco 12th tires. Both are considered exotic compounds yet the smaller tires cost more. I find that in TC you can run a tire from 60mm right down to the rim, but in 12th you have to buzz them down so small to start and they dont last.

What are the hard core 12th racers doing for tires? Special place to get good prices? ITs a topic i may start all its own but dont you all feel that the most consumable part of racing is drastically over priced considering the volume racers go through?

Best price i can find locally is 20$ a pair CND. Our dollar is about 88cents to the US dollar so about 17$US is this typical for you guys? For touring jacos i can get them for 14$CND wich is easier to swallow considering i get more foam and plastic then a 12th gives me.

Am i just a cheap whiner? LOL

I know u got to pay to play but i like to save when i can, i wont even get into what i pay for rubber tires!
