my hobby budget is not very big but tires u cant skimp on. so its always a must have. seems even buggy tires going up around here. last hobby shop before they went out was 10 for buggy and 15 for truck that was great. i know it dont sound like much but it counts after u tire a few classes.

Ya, if your budget is limited its best to just run 2wd stock or Mod. No real discount on tires out there. Amain gives about a 10% discount.

Continue to buy at the LHS, sounds like the last one near you went under. Support your local shop!!

Ask some of the local fast guys if they have any that they would sell. Often times fast guys replace tires more frequently and have cast-offs that are still good for a while. If you're going for new, the lhs affiliated with your local track will be the best place to get tires that work for that track since they will stock primarily what people run.

Amazon has some stores that give you good deals on tires with free shipping or pretty reasonble priced shipping.

LHS are good if they have the tires you want you can order from them if they can get them fast during the week than i would do it.

And i do agree see if some of the fast guys or normal level drivers are selling tires with decent or a good amount of tread on them . Do check though that the rims are not bent or cracked though .


Also there is cheaper but not bad quality tires out there like Duratrax and VP tires, some Losi tires.

i would support the lhs but retail prices and bad service really turns me off.

Im all for supporting LHS, but supporting my RC addiction is more of a priority. . With that said, I have found really good deals on feebay. I mean EBay.

look in the classifieds here, alot of times you can find some package deals on tires, also if you have to buy new, amain is usually about the cheapest. Sometimes jconcepts will send out 10-25% off their website if you sign up for the email list.

LHS.

No point in having tires if there's nowhere to use them. I'd rather spend the extra $1-2 to help keep the lights on.

bad service aside, if you can't afford full retail perhaps you should run fewer classes.
looking for a break on a expensive kit is one thing, but on something as inexpensive and disposable as tires is what puts hobby shops out of business.

tc5 man

Well if the shop has bad service is there a reason to buy things from there i wouldnt . Thats what puts LHS out of bussiness mostly.

Ok amain has good deals. Thanks. For that tip. And. Yes my lhs is about 40 mins each way. And not open. When I leave to head to the track. So its cost me 10 in gas and about two hours not worth It for small stuff and usually don't have all I need anyway. Also all I wanted. To know is where's a food place for cheap tires. Not a buy lhs or die. Thing.

hoonigantoo

I don't disagree, I didn't disagree, it's why I don't buy from my lhs. That wasn't my point; you still have to pay retail buying online. Buggy tires are least expensive of all classes, so just saint if someone can't afford them then perhaps they should run fewer classes.

Ya I understand I just really wanted to find a place that had 10 dollar buggy tires and I did droped sct because of body and tire prices and the fact they not fun. Ok. Somebody can close this. As amain is the best deal around for tires.
