Tires needed

Here is a link to the tires I need, they don't have to be that brand but I need that size and was hoping to find someone in Jersey so I can pick them up tomorrow. I know a few guys on here work for tire places, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance, Matt.

To my knowledge no local guys stock that size in any brand...

Since thats a dinosour size and only drag racers use them as fronts...

Yeah, thats why I need them! I found one local guy but he wants $110 a piece for $55 tires! I'm gonna go to a few more places tomorrow, if I cant find them, I'll just order them online. Thanks.

I have Hoosier front runners on their now and they are perfectly fine, but I want to switch to a D.O.T. tire so I can run more classes.

Edit: you guys having a dyno day for club this year?

Yes they are. The hard part is getting the "T" speed rating (118mph). I got a set about 5 years ago at Pep Boys for something like $30 each. Paid a bit more last year ($100ea) from my tire guy. I run street and need the DOT front tires. That size is getting harder and harder to find.
