Anyone interested in brand new OEM tires?

I've got three complete sets (build dates are late 2015 to 2016). I've kept each tire in contractor grade garbage bags, climate controlled storage.

I decided to convert and will not drive my Viper on street any longer.

Please PM me interested.

asked like true track junkie, lol.

I started with just Belanger headers and exhaust (cat delete). Then had spherical bearings/suspension upgrade. Was toying hard with idea upgrading to Prefix heads and cam, but it's been tough taking that leap. I know Gary's beast is pulling hard on straights with his package, but I'm not having heat soak issues and worst that happens on real hot days with hard runs is that my diff cooler seems to run quite some time well after shutting car down, but I don't have any issues with temps. (Oh, yeah I guess I forgot about the diff and battery upgrades too).

Running Michelin slicks on Forgelines (18" front/ 19" rears). Best slicks ever : )

Did you wrap your headers?

Yes. To be honest, I've never been gifted with any mechanical acumen. Just know how to drive. So, it's always been a blessing working w/ guys who know what they're doing and Jeff Stout (Complete Performance) who does my work, doesn't skip corners. Never even know about "wrapping" with heat strips/cloth or whatever it is, but he did it. I guess the science is that it traps it in the tube and forces it to be blown out the exhaust?
What I do know is I don't ever have temp problems and maybe this is one of the reasons?

What size and compound Michelins? I have the same 18/19 combo and I'm still trying to figure out what slicks I want to put on those. Most likely would go for a medium/hard tire given the climate (Central California) and the abrasive tarmac on the tracks around here.
