Default Best Prices on Toyo R888?

I did a search and thought I'd find something. I did a google search too and found prices. However I thought I'd ask here and see where the best prices on Toyo R888 usually is?

I normally buy from Bob Woodman Tires but there prices have gone way up. So far tiredealsforless.com has the best prices.

I am looking for:
245-40-18
305-35-18

thanks! Mike

I bought 888's for my miata from Joe and he was very competitive on price compared to others that I researched at the time. Of course, miata tires are less than half the price of what you are paying for your size...

I have a set of 245/40/18's with maybe 15 DE laps on them. They have barely any wear and are full tread. I paid $295/each new. I'll sell them for $200/ea.

I also have 285/30/18's with the same level of use.

both tires are virtually new.

Have you tried Sasco? I think their R888 prices are pretty close to their outdated(?) RA1 prices posted on their website: http://www.sascosports.com/products/...php?type_id=38
