Question WTB-Toyo RA-1

I'm looking to purchase a set of Toyo RA-1 to be used as rain tires on my track car.
Who has the best prices?
225/50/16 & 245/45/16.

Thanks!

Radial Tire gives PCA memebers a discount. I buy my T1-S's there. Call and ask for Paul.
Regular price on my 275/40 was $189, I think I paid ~170

I'll also vouch for the RA-1s, Radial Tire, and Paul. They'll be glad to ship to you.

If you don't mind driving to central PA I can probably give you a good deal on them. Email me if you want me to get you some prices.

Last time I shipped tires (toyo T1-S's) it cost over $70 bucks and was a huge hassle. I will let you know what I can get them for so you can see if it will be worth it.

Did you try to find a Toyo dealer?

225/50R16 $296.69 Normally $349.78
245/45R16 $328.60 Normally $377.34

If its worth the drive down let me know. I doubt it would be worth shipping unless you can't find a dealer with a fairly decent price.

I have a set of four 225/50/16 Toyo Proxes 'RA-1s' that are basically new. I bought them from Radial Tire new and ran them for one driver's ed weekend last year at Summit Point. Car stuck to the track like it was glued down! I ended up selling my Mazda RX-7 that I ran them on, so they are now taking up space in my garage. I'll take $300.00 for all four, but I'm not sure how much it would take to have them shipped to you. I live in Rockville, Maryland. Lemme' know if you're interested and we can take it from there.

Need-For-Speed,

No response to my email or post. Are you still selling the tires?

Morning John!

Sorry for delay in responding. I sent you an e-mail just a few minutes ago. Been having some mail blocking issues with my Hotmail account. I think I've got them cleared up now.
