Where to buy Toyo tires?

Where can I get the best price on a set of Toyo tires? I've already talked to Mark and he's having trouble getting anyone to give him a wholesale account. I'd rather buy online from somewhere that will drop ship to Hubcap Heaven.

Thanks,

First of all, I have to mention that one of our club sponsors, Colony Tire, should be able to get them. And it's always a good and wonderful thing to support club sponsors.

Colony Tire
2400 Atlantic Avenue
Raleigh, NC 27604
919-832-7527

That said, last year a knowledgable club member referred me to Vilven Tire, and they shipped a set of shaved RA-1s directly to Hubcap Heaven. I guess their prices are about as good as anybody's.

Here's a Toyo dealer list from the NASA site:

I suggest you search the track forum for more opinions.

You might try calling Mark Cooper at Hubcap Heaven. I think he can get Toyo's, and you might save shipping costs if he can pick them up from the local warehouse.

Best internet price I've found on RA1's in the size I'd use (255/40/17) is at Edge Racing (www.edgeracing.com). I haven't bought anything from them, but I've heard good things on the forums, and the shipping charges are reasonable (~$10/tire).

I almost forgot, last week someone on another forum posted a place with even better prices on RA1's - the Tire Shoppe (http://www.thetireshoppe.com). They supposedly discount even further than their internet published price if you mention you race and/or belong to a sports car club, but I haven't actually tried that or even ordered from them either.

Thanks!

I'm actually looking for the T-1R shaved but if necessary can have them drop shipped for the shaving.

try Kevin at MMautowerks. Hes an authorized tirerack installer, but can also get falkens and i *think*ive seen a set of Toyos there, can't hurt to ask. you can drop ship there, too. hes a real good guy w/ the best equipment. he'll do you right if he can get em.

i was there today getting some tires mounted/balanced and it was like hanging and working w/ friends. well except he did all the work

he showed me all his gadgetry, etc and how it all worked. impressive stuff.
