Toyo R888 In 245/40-17

RufusAZ · 07-10-2008, 10:13 PM

I'd been checking every once and while but today I saw on Toyo's site the R888 in a 245/40-17.

I looked around the webz and couldn't find a seller in that size. Any recomendations on where to go and get them to me shaved?

I'd been waiting forever for either the RA-1, NT-01 or the R888 to come out in 245/40 because I didn't want to shell out the big bucks for either Hoosiers or BFG R1's.

Thanks

racetire.com sells Toyo, if it is a new size you'll want to call since most people don't update their website immediately.

Thanks T3h_Clap. I didn't see it on their site so I shot them an email.

It's so much easier to find a 255/40 in around 100 treadwear. I just don't think I can pull that off with my stock struts, even after i get my roll.

That Hankook Z214 245/40-17 C51 (medium) is a bit cheaper than some of the other almost slicks i've seen.. tempting.

Update... Called Discount who told me they could get them for $275/each! WTF? I can get a 255/40-17 R888 for about $220. Looks like I will be running the Hankook or BFG.
