Default Shaving Toyo RA1's

I have some unshaven Toyo RA1's that I would like to get shaved. Any shop recommendation? Thanks.

I would also like to know where tires can be shaven and prices for it to be done. Thanks.

I would buy from them, but they are expensive.

Go to Ron at Aim Tire at Sears Point.

Have the tires been driven on or are they brand new?

Driven at the track in the rain. Is it a bad idea to shave them?

Sears.. anywhere in the south bay?

The reason I ask is that most places will not shave a tire that has been driven on as the debris from the road kills their blade.

I don't know anyone in the S. bay. Kraus in Castro Valley would be the closest.

When I took my Vilven shaved RAs in for mounting at Kraus the two guys there were amazed at how well the tires were shaved.....which leads me to believe that they could never even come close to Vilven's Brazilian job.
