I'm definitely interested. Is Bob still working on it or is PPP gonna handle this?

[Onebadbee]

i hope bob does nothing against ppp but bob is a the man

[jaysHEMI]

Either way, I'm interested. I'm going to need them. :D

[dline]

Looks like PPP is handling it.

[sawcut64]

I would really like a set of these, they might be the answer I'm looking for.....tall enough for the 1/4, but short enough to still run good 1/8 times. I REALLY don't want the expense/hassle of grinding calipers and buying 16" rims to get a 28" tall slick.

[Onebadbee]

these tires will allow you to stay in third while in 1/4 right

[sawcut64]

For you definately, for me I don't know.... 4.56 gears rock right up until you run out of RPM's, then not so much. Right now with 295 MT's I'm at 5600 RPM's crossing the traps in the 1/8, with a 1 1/2" taller tire and an extended rev limit to 6500 with Superchips....maybe?

[Onebadbee]

that would be cool with a nitto nt555r 305/35/20 for my 20's that would put me at 28.5 and my rims only weight 30 lbs

but rule of thumb is get 17's

[sawcut64]

I don't think the Nitto's are all that sticky, at least not like the Mickey Thompsons. Also not much sidewall to flex, ideally a 15" slick/DR of the proper height would probably stick the best, but 16's and 17's seem to work pretty well.

[Onebadbee]

sweet hopefully this goes thru

[Darell]

Also interested.

Anyone do a mini-tub on a 3rd gen Ram?

[dline]

some guy on vtcoa, redid the wheelwells in the bed, and hes got some really wide mickey thompsons on it.

[Onebadbee]

well i talked to andy at ppp and should have pricing in a couple of weeks

[kidat46]

I'm gonna call Bob Monday and see if he will pursue this. PPP-tech pretty much attacked Bob on SRT connection saying it was wrong for Bob to talk to Hoosier about the 17" slick because ppp-tech had done all the leg work on this project. I'll buy the 16" slick from Bob before I buy from the other guy. Knowing Bob he probably won't want to cause any waves over this but I'll ask him anyway....LOL I just checked the SRT connection thread trying to quote what ppp-tech said about Bob, but he has edited the thread.

[Onebadbee]

they edited the thread wow thats gay

ill order from bob

Yes, I was very mad about it. I bought 25 sets of tires because everyone was interested and then I saw Moes just interject himself to sell the same thing. That is very shady business no matter how you look at it. You dont let another business work on something for weeks and drum up interest and then undercut them and try to sell the same product. I erased my statement because me and Bob should talk about it offline as he did not originally know I had already been working on it. Anyhow, i will call Bob tomorrow and find out what his plan is.

Let me clarify, I dont thing Bob was trying to do anything that would hurt our business, I dont think he knew we were already working on it. I will call Bob tomorrow and we will figure everything out.

Glad you clarified the fact that Bob would never steal business from you or anyone else, I don't think the man even thinks in those terms. Actually kind of surprised you would get pissed and post anything like that without first contacting him to explain. Bob is the most stand up guy we have in the Hemi community......

[Onebadbee]

i know bob is a straight up guy and would never do that to any business thanks andy for being civil

[kidat46]

Glad your going to get this worked out Andy. I would like the 17" slicks over the 16" due to the caliper work that needs to be done, but I agree Bob wouldn't purposely cut in on your business. If you have an extra set let me know, I'll be glad to buy a set now.

[kidat46]

here's the link to the 17" slick. hope it's ok to post this here Dave. If not get Mr. Moderator to do his thing. :p http://purehorsepowerperformance.com/hoosierdragslicks.aspx

Yeah I know bob also. I have been on the truck forums since 2003. I even bought my p1sc from him years ago. On lxf, rubbel clarified who was handling the group buy so I assumed he just copy and pasted his post to the connection. The I saw Bob trying to offer the same deal and I was upset, it wasnt till later that I realized that it was not clear on the connection that we were already working on it. No biggie, im still going to call bob tomorrow.

Question Andy...do I put down $100 for both tires deposit or $200 since I want 2 tires.

You can just put $100 down total. I just want to secure the first 25 sets as I think they will go fast and I dont want anyone upset because they couldnt buy them in time.

[kidat46]

Gotcha...Thanks

Andy any idea at all how much they'll be? I know you said pricing to follow, but there much be a rough idea of what they'll cost?

[kidat46]

i didn't know how to get around the shipping option so i paid $127 total. oh well...that's $27 less i'll have to pay later on.

[ppptech]

forgot to disable shipping. Sorry about that.


Im trying to keep the cost under $200 per tire.

[ppptech]

8 sets are sold.

[ppptech]

Ok, looks like $199 per tire is doable. I will adjust pricing online. If you have already paid a deposit, I will send you a gift certificate in that amount to apply to the new order.

[kidat46]

Cool...looking forward to these. Thanks

[jaysHEMI]

This is a good deal. Hopefully I can swing it. :D

[ppptech]

Anyone know how to contact Bob? His voicemail is full.

[sawcut64]

[ppptech]

[DaBeeOnN859]

subscribed :)

[ppptech]

[jaysHEMI]

Damn. Might not make the cut this go around...I won't be able to swing 'em until next Friday at the earliest.

[sawcut64]

Will there be another go around on these, can't afford it right now, but would like some in the next couple months.

[ppptech]

After the initial run, they have expressed an interest in making it a stocking item, but I can not gurantee anything.

[sawcut64]

Dang I really wish I had the money for this now.....

[jaysHEMI]

me too...

[kidat46]

did anyone else besides me order these? last i heard was that they were supposed to be shipped around the beginning of this week. anyone received a shipping confirmation or heard anything different about the ship date?

[JohnnyHemi]

are the 17" slicks what yall are trying to get a group buy on?

[Darell]

I think it's done. They are waiting for delivery.

[kidat46]
