Because the stang was there, he had the tires in stock, and I was showing cord on the two rears (READ: I wouldn't have made it 1 block from there!)



Steve just got back to me with pricing... I still wanna shop around:

Front: 275/40ZR17 TOYO PROXES RA-1 PN#236780 $395/ea
Rear: 305/35R18 TOYO PROXES RA-1 PN#236730 $485/ea

At least in Canada 305/35R18 RA1's don't exist, so where did that price a part number come from?

Here are the prices from http://www.talontire.com in Montreal.
275/40R17 $385
335/30ZR18 $492

Also, if you are using them for competition, there are discounts to be had by joining this.

Try Tireworks in Mississauga. They are an official Rgroup member.

Rahul, I get the 40% discount through Toyo Racing. Just not sure if i can get that same discount on 17" tires....

Can you ask your friend Brian for the phone # or a location? When I searched for cheap thrills, I found places that involve a different kind of "rubber"...

Nabeel: 40%? Hook me up!

Fongu: I got the PN and price from Tiremag in Concord, ON. Thanks for the link - I'll check it out!
