Default Online Tire Dealer Recommendations

Okay, I know that the Tirerack is #1. However, I am looking for track/street tires and have narrowed my choices down to Toyo R888's or Yokohama AD08's
Tirerack does not sell Toyo and they are backordered on the Yokos.
I have scanned the internet and there are other dealers who offer decent prices but I have never heard of most of them.

Anybody dealt with anyone else that they would recommend?

Might try Discount Tire. I'd stick with Tire Rack if I could.

I've used Tirerack since their inception and have always had top notch customer service.

used both. discount will match tirerack prices. go with who has it in stock. good thing with discount is that if you have any problems with tires they ca fix fairly quickly

i had to replace to tires on my car due to radial pull and had to wait over a week to get done from tirerack...great service though

Ask Damon at Tire Rack if he knows a good supplier for Toyo.
I ordered wheels from him and told him that I wanted Toyo R888. He said didn't carry them but he'd get them for me and mount them up to make it convenient. He just charged me market price for the Toyos. He was great to work with. I'm sure he'd tell you of a reputable place to order from.

John - I used 1010tires.com for a recent Bridgestone purchase - they ended up being just a hair cheaper than Tirerack to the door here in Ottawa. They appear to carry Toyo and Yoko ...

For high performance tires that TR doesn't carry (Toyo, Hankook, etc.), many in the VA/MD area order from Paul at Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD. www.radialtire.com
