[Fot] cantilever slicks

[Ed Diehl]

Hi, guys. I have been buying tires from John Berget for years and highly recommend him. Very good guy to deal with.  Good luck and cheers,  Ed.

just bought a set from him - made for and used only at the run-offs - probably 2-3 heat cycles.  $85 ea vs $250 new.  For my purposes, good enough.
Thanks!

They sell used race tires that have only 1 or 2 races on them.  Cheap.
