Thanks. What do you all say on the Proxes R888 vs. Proxes RA-1??
Anyone know of a cheaper source than $200.67 and $221.12 on the R888?

checked the versions I purchased, PROXES T1-R, 245/45/16 at $152 ea
call them, they had more when I bought them 8/31/11
on edit, the fuzions had terrible reviews for road noise but I did find two sites that had them in stock, btw..you have to call, some companies list them but do not have them in stock, usually shows up as you try to pay

Just spoke to tires-easy. They DONT have a matching T1-R for the rear 245/45/16.
He did say they COULD do a Proxes 4, Fronts 225/50/16 and 245/50/16. Have you heard anything about Proxes4? Nobody mentioned that tire here yet.

did you happen to call other vendors, some vendors may still have product not shown on their site
at the same time they may list product nla
Seriously...I spent easily 15+ looking for that size
check here...you may have to source tires from two vendors

Also need 245/45-16s for 1987 928 S4
Fuzion Zri on rear since 2003. Found these in search for same size.
Primewell PZ900 94W 280-AA-A at Firestone w/ 3yr or 40,000mi warranty
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 94W low UTQG High price
Roadstone N3000 94W 340-AA-A
Kumho VictoRacer V700 94W low UTQG High price
Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra 94W low UTQG High price
Also looking at Nexen N3000 and ask why you don't like with 94W and 340-AA-A UTQG. Others at Tire-Easy.com, CARid.com, Tirerack.com, and Onlinetires.com but high price and low UTQG.
Hope this helps

I'm in the same boat. My local guy said he could find the 245/45/16 Fuzion ZRi rears but not the 225/50/16 fronts. I may have to go to 17 inch rims for my street tires,

Check the recent thread I posted in the 924/944/951/968 forum. Tirerack has bridgestone RE11's in the turbo s factory size, don't search on there website by car model, just by tire size.
