Goodyear Billboards Prices
Who has the best price on "Billboards" ? I know about Rodger Krause, is there anybody else? Cheaper?

Me but you'll have to organize the next group buy. I actually have one rear here already if you want to see what the rest of the set will run. You'll also have to figure out the inside outside and position on the car ;-)

$223 each. Anyone needing a new set of Billboards?
Call Summit on their price guarantee and send them that link for a price. |

Maybe its just a typo but Summit says their rear tires are 26.5x10x15. My prior set of Billboards as well as this new set are 26.5x10.5x15.

Goodyear lists them as 10.0, which is right?

Call Jerry at Carter Maxwell in OKC, or call the guys at Roger Krause Racing, they have sold a bazillion of these and can tell you.

This may be a bit unpopular but I believe it's worth the extra dollars to support a business like Roger Krause.....

Why? He has the highest prices.

Well, I don't want get on my soapbox but....when folks like Roger Kraus are gone, they ain't comin' back.
I understand times are tough but we're burning hydrocarbons here. A group buy sounds like a fantastic idea but maybe it could be done through a brick and mortor shop with real experience vs a warehouse drop shipper (my apologies to Summit if they have stores but they're not in SoCal).
Call Summit. Maybe they can answer elmarichis question on size...in English, for now. Ask Roger and order from Summit?!?! DAMN. 
When customers come to me, I always tell them I'm NOT the cheapest. Their response speaks volumes.
What do we do now that the cobbler is gone? I've got $150 Nikes. And $500 Brunos. Which do you think is the ripoff? Sorry for the digression.
Jeff, this is NOT a personal attack. I'm just a concerned American business owner.

I bought mine from Krause simply because I could get my questions answered by people who are experts on this type of tire. I try to support the small American business guy at every opportunity, even if it does cost a few more bucks (Just my thoughts, I'm not an expert on ANYTHING).

I just got in last week my Avons from Roger Krause - service is excellent and there is always time for a little chat about burning tires an racing...
speaking of: good luck that season Krause jr.!!!
Yes, the are not the cheapest - but the rubber is fresh and it not warehoused for years.
