I can order directly from Toyo, but you'd have to come to PA to get them.

Lancaster Co. about 30-45 minutes East of the Harrisburg.

I have the 255/40r17's in stock but they do not make the 225/45r17 in the RA-1 line.

I can also get the Michelins too, but those I think I'll have to order from them.

For the Kuhmos, it looks like we have 2 of the fronts in the wharehouse, but it looks like I'd have to try and order the rear.

I called Bob Woodman today, and spoke directly with him regarding what tires will provide me a consistent grip , his reccommendation was Toyo RA1- I said YES!!! I felt confident I was speaking to someone in the know and paid a reasonable amount for the tires. Just to let anyone know where they can get quality service and what I feel is an honest opinon.
Thanks All...

235x45x17 and 255x40x17 Toyo RA1's...No problem theprice for Toyo vs Michelins is hopefully not equal to the stick factor

I have heard some good things about them. I picked up a used set of 245/45/16 for the rear of my car from someone last year that only had 1000 miles on them. $75 for the pair!!! I just mounted them on the rear last week 4 days before a DE when i noticed the ones on the car corded all of a sudden. They where due as they where the track only tires. I need to get the new front ones on before next Thursday at Limerock and get them scuffed up a bit first. These will be track only.
