Default Where to buy Toyo tires?

The only local source for Toyo's in Rochester has them priced higher than MPSC's. Anyone have a source for Toyo's with good customer service and fair prices? Has anyone used www.edgeracing.com?

I'm thinking of switching from MPSC to RA1's for general duty track days.

Thanks in advance for any sourcing info.!!!

Radial Tire in Silver Spring Maryland.

Forgot the #, but it's at www.radialtire.com. Ask for the owner Paul. He races grand-am cup and supplies tires at great prices for racers up and down the east coast.

No affiliation, just a happy customer. Has great prices on Fikses as well.

I have bought my Toyo's from the same place as "Onasled". They have the best pricing I have seen and the service is great. Ask for Bryan Shakleford (480)424-3541. They are out of AZ though, so the shipping to NY may eat into the good pricing.

In addition to the already great service and pricing(I was already a loyal customer), this year Chapman BMW & Toyo are offering our SPEC944 series a terrific rewards program. These guys really stepped up to the plate.

Have any of you guys heard the:

"you know when you are a racer when...you call the tire shop and they have your credit card memorized"

I think of that every time I order another set...

We always buy ours at Vilven Tire. They were doing some amazing things with true street tires for racing long before anyone conceived of R comps.

bob woodman tires is the cheapest in my RA-1 sizes (225/50-16 and 245/45-16) by $5-$8 per tire than the next lowest I've seen.
