Just a note as I know that there were at least a few here looking for RA-1's in 275/18 sizing.

Radial Tire has, I think, 8 pairs at the moment. You can ask for Paul as I know he is a freind to many on the board.

Complete and total affiliation with 10% of any sales resulting from this post going to my track slush fund!

Kidding of course....

I have one brand new I'm willing to part with

You mean you have one tire? Is it shaved?

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered a set from Paul. Very competitive pricing too!

I beat Jamie to it, ordering mine last Friday. At that time there were 6 in the warehouse, so maybe they received more.
Jamie and I are on the same tire wear schedule.
+1 for Paul and Radial tire.

TR6

Before I ordered my pair, he told me that he had 6 on hand and had more on the way within a week or so.

Why don't you just go to Discount Tire and purchase the Nitto NT01? It's the same tire.

Bill,

Is that true?

Discount Tire has been back-ordered on the 275/18" NT01 for quite a while. At least so they tell me.

I purchased a set of the Nitto's at Discount Tire for about 10% less than I pay for RA-1's. I am told that they are the same tire, but I was faster on them vs the RA-1. FWIW

(P.S. Lifetime ballancing for $12. Boy are they going to be sorry about that deal )

How is the wear compared to RA1's?

TheOtherEric

LOL, sure but guess what? Those guys don't have them. I bought some on ebay, paid, then was told "sorry, they're on backorder." I kid you not.

If you try this, call and confirm they actually have them first.

The Toyo RA-1 275/35/18's I ordered were $305 each which seemed pretty reasonable to me (I'd found higher prices at a couple of other sources, but didn't find any cheaper). And the shipping is pretty reasonable too ($30 to ship a pair to Texas).
