Lol same here, I had good luck with them buying parts for my nsx. There have been a few people on nsxprime who payed but never recieved anything, but as long as you use paypal they are great. Also considering how much parts for the nsx cost, I dont want to know how much they are going to be asking for those tires.

Yeah Mark and dali have caught some heat on prime but s**t happens I guess. So you're a fellow STi/NSX owner huh? Glad to know I'm not alone! What year's your nsx?

can you list the models you're comparing the UHP's to?

in Toyo, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and Kumho?

just making sure you're making a fair comparison.

RE070s > Kumho Ecsta AST

what does that mean? I mean i can still get them and nobody will ever know, not even the tire guys...how and why do they make a tire illegal?

whats this about RE0-1rs? Never heard of them? are they like the re070's?

I love the RE070s and if they made them in a 235+ app./ i would take them but they dont or they are illegal...so something close would be nice. RE0-1rs sound very interesting, must research...

I'm pretty sure a cop wouldn't notice the difference.
