Anyone know of a local place I can pick up a set of Toyo tires? In particular the Proxe T1Rs? I called Discount Tire and they said here in the NW they are more expensive compared to other parts of the country, and therefore not as popular.

But I've run these before and have been pleased with them, and it seems many others seem to think they are a great tire for the price. Online I can find a set of 4 19" Toyo T1Rs in the sizes I need for around $850. I was quoted nearly $1250 for the same tires locally?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

I would get a quote from Russ or Marek @

I got a good deal from them on my R888s. They are right in Redmond.

 

Les Schwab has the "exclusive" in this area for them. I have went through Discount tire for them but now have a good connection that is the manager at the Les Schwab in Bellevue. He just hooked me up great on a set of 285/30/18. If you are in the area call and ask for Casy and tell him Josh with the Boxster sent you. He is a class act!

 

WWW.TIRERACK.COM DOESN'T HAVE THEM?

I USE LES SCHWAB FOR MY STUFF NOW BUT THEY AREN'T ALWAYS CHEAPER JUST SERVICE.

 

TR does not carry Toyos and according to my TR salesman, it is unlikely that they ever will... (not sure why)

Try www.bobwoodmantires.com if you can wait to have them shipped -- best toyo prices in the country I think... not sure if they carry the T1R though...

I just bought a set at Les Schwab --

(2) 235 40 18
(2) 295 30 18
R888
$1345 including tax

This same set up was $1100 from Bob Woodman plus freight of $100

 

Unfortunately, Les Schwab has the market cornered and they won't match prices.

I bought my T1-Rs here: http://www.edgeracing.com/ Best prices I've found.

 

Thanks guys for the help. Yeah it seems like Les Schwab is the main source here in the NW. I did want to try out those R888s, but I havn't found a source for the 265/19 here in the states.

I'm actually considering going with the Yokohama Sport Advans now however, might try something different.

 

got our toyos from les schwab in as well.

we've also been happy with the kumho's that we pursched through wheel dynamics.

good luck with your search!
