Pam has told me that the TW will be doing discounts for us if we need tires.
If you need a special size or brand call the Orange, Mass tire warehouse and tell them you are with the New England Rally and you want them to order your tires for you so you can have them installed the day of the rally.

No I don't, but they hooked us up last year. There were a few people that got tires last year and they were quite happy with the price.

I'm pretty sure it was done at their cost. if it was much more than that I'd be shocked!

I had to break down and get new tires last month. I got them from TW for $95 each and that was with no discount. They really are the cheapest place to get tires around here.

I should see what they can do for me, I know what I want but my size is very oddball and limits my tire selection drastically...
255/35/19 is not very common I suppose...

Last year it was a free service. Drain all 4 tires and refill 100% with Nitrogen while you had something to eat at the start buffett.

Yep, nitrogen inflation is still free I believe.

whats so good w/ a nitrogen fill up ??

Post by ReddDesign on Jul 5, 2008 14:27:48 GMT -5
has much less fluctuation in temp

ie, normal air in tire may read 33 cold but 38-39 when tires have warmed up. Nitrogen keeps much more stable and closer to initial temp during "spirited" driving.

well yes, temperature and pressure. normal air contains water vapor and as the temperature of water vapor increases, it's volume increases, so does your tire pressure. nitrogen containing no water vapor is less susceptible to pressure fluctuations with temperature. also there are other tertiary benefits, supposedly the nitrogen is less likely to leak out, and oxygen over time will 'attack' the rubber where nitrogen won't. the benefits aren't dramatic, but in my mind they aren't worth what most places charge for it, hence why getting it cheap or free, for me, is a good idea

No it was free. You didn't pay did you? Or did you not get it because you thought you had to pay?
