Hmmm... Snook (AKA Tim/Timmy) should put them up in the listings. I looked and did NOT see them in his list of brands he carries @ www.autocarparts.com

I can't vouch for how "reliable" these guys are; however, I've seen their advertisements in three or four R/T and/or C/D car magazines (little ads. in the back with good prices on Toyo T1S tires in “our” sizes).

Here is the name (you might want to look for any bad comments around the search engines [if you are really cautious]):

http://www.ec-securehost.com/OnlineT...Toyo_T1-S.html

The 235/45-17s T1S run $163.00 ea.

The 225/40-18s T1S run $193.00 ea.


Here is Pricescan.com -- perhaps you can find some more options here:

Talking about hiding the listings of Toyo and Nitto...

Ok, I am going to attach an image of the top of his tire page. The RA1 you have shown there is not listed on the site.

In the Manufacturer's box, there is no pop down for Toyo...

The Toyo T1S is only shown in the 225/40-18 and he also carries the FZ4. (No mention of any other tires and there are no major Toyo subheadings) The Toyos and Nittos look like unwanted stepchildren when compared to the big tittles given to all of the other tires (like BF Goodrich, etc)

From Toyo's web site -- the RA-1:




See partial view of his "All Tires Page" at the bottom

Well, the Toyo T1S stick like crazy in day-to-day wet and dry road conditions. Of course there is nothing like a good DOT approved competition rubber (Hoosiers, Victoracers, RA-1s, etc) to stick like super-glue. They ride hard; don't last long, but sure make for a big grin!

So, T1S would be better than our stock ones?
How long do they last? Do they affect quality of the ride?
Also, 235, won't it rub?

The Toyos T1-S are much better than our stocks, hands down. THe ride quality is like stock if not more quiet than stock IMO. The 235 will not rub in stock 17 x 7 rims.
