Best place to buy race scrubs

Now that I finally have a truck and trailer I'd like to venture into Hoosierland. Sticker Hoosiers would be sweet and I may have to go that route but I know of folks purchasing takeoffs at a heavily discounted rate with plenty of heat cycles left. I also happen to have a tire machine so that'll help my case from an economics perspective.

I'd like to find a set of 285/30-18 or 295/30-18 A7s and it seems supply is very limited this late in the season.

Has anyone here had good luck purchasing scrubs and if so who did you buy them from? The only 2 sources that I have found are the following:

Thanks for the suggestions guys; Im surprised I wasnt able to find a thread on here with a list of good sources.

As my luck would have it the day before I posted this I spoke with John @ JBRacingtire and he mentioned supply for A's was dwindling down. Then, I created this thread and who ringed my cell phone that evening? It was John to save the day! He just took in a set of 295 A7's and knew I wanted them.

Im on vacation this week but the set showed up at my house yesterday and I had my buddy swing by my house and put them in my garage. So while I havent personally seen them yet or raced on them from the pictures he sent me they look to have plenty of life left! I paid $450 shipped so assuming theyre in great shape I think purchasing race scrubs is a great avenue to those who admittedly arent competitive enough to justify the cost of sticker Hoosiers or arent winning free tires.

Im not sure how much slower these will be but if theyre fresh and only have a few heat cycles on them, then for me I think they are just the ticket and quite a bargain I might add.
