Default Best price on Toyo RA1's? Anyone know?

My old set is shot (I can see the cords) and need to pick-up a new set of shoes. Anyone know where to go for the best price?

Thanks,

You can try this company site and plug in your zip code for a dealer locator. Or you can just call up Toyo at their headquarters in Cypress and ask where to go. Obviously not all dealers are going to be carrying the racing rubber. The Proxes referenced above is a great tire, but that is not what you are asking for is it?
Are you going to have the tires speed balanced (120mph) as well? If so you may want to consider buying them from a dealer that has that capability on site.

Yes- the Proxes RA1's are what I was talking about and yes, they will need to be speed balanced. Thanks for the help.

Email Rob Rudeau. He's a Z32 owner and TTnet member who also happens to be a Toyo dealer. He has the best prices I've ever seen. Tell him trackstar from TTnet sent you.

there was a BMW shop who had great prices at the last NASA event an calspdway a couple of weeks ago... I think they came from Scottsdale, AZ may have been part of Chapman BMW.

225/40/18 where just over $200
245/40/18 where just over $220
275/40/18 where just over $260

shipping to socal is about $8-12 per tire... this was cheaper than the vilven who I had bought from in past, but they may be able to match or beat?

Thanks for the websites. Aimtire seems to be by far the best price. Thanks JawKnee!

Anytime Track junkies usually have good insight for RA1s

Default Toyo RA1

I just placed an order for a set with Todd at Frisby Race Tire $250 for 245s & $260 for 275s. I asked him about a group buy but there was not much room to make it worth while. 5% for 20 tires & 10% for 40. Oh, and shaving is $18 per tire.

Not a bad price. I checked with aimtire.com and they were about $5.00 bucks a tire cheaper.
