Default Toyo Tires

Several of you folks have said you run Toyo Proxes (sp?) RA-1's. Where did you get them from? I looked at Toyos website for local dealers but didn't feel comfortable that those shops would have or know what I am looking for. Sure they might sell all seasons, but R compounds?

Once my Khumos wear out I would like to try a set. I am hoping they will wear better than my Khumos, but now be as expensive as Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and be nearly as sticky as the Khumos and Yokohama A032's I am used to!

EBAY

Brand new (still had the stickers on them) and even came with an ultra clean set of 6's and 7's.

Dave:

Paul at Radial Tire is the best around. Tell him you are a PCAer. Call him and see if he has a pick up around here. They sell tires all around the metro area and if you are lucky, you can drop the wheels off and pick them up without going to Silver Spring.

I'll put in a third vote for Paul at Radial Tire. I saved $70 per tire on my RA-1's over Craven Tire. Marc is right about mentioning PCA, Paul will give you an awsome PCA memeber discount.

So mentioning Dorkiphus doesn't get us anywhere?
