check Toyo to find the size you want and i'll see about getting your a quote.

GB ends second week of Feb. 17'th but i can try to stretch it to the 19th the latest.

Thanks for the interest!


PS: i am not getting a cut what-so-ever, just passing on the deal to everyone here.

Does price include shipping, because if not, I have seen cheaper.

If the price includes shipping, than that's a pretty good deal. If it doesn't include shipping, then I guess the "deal" depends on what the shipping cost is.

Mazur, where have you seen cheaper? The best price I've seen is about 30% off of what's listed, but the are shaved and heat cycled in race qualifying (aka used)?

Are they available in 19" sizes ? I need 275-285-295/30.

Hey guys,
I am the one organizing the GB on the M5 board. I would also be interested to know where you have seen them cheaper. I would also like to know if anyone has any dealings with them? Send it to me in either a PM or direct to my email. gbogh3@yahoo.com thx.


Are they available in 19" sizes ? I need 275-285-295/30
I will look into if these sizes are available. If so provide pricing tomorrow.


SHIPPING COSTS:
Estimated shipping costs for 4 tires. If you are on the East Coast $60 if you are on the West Coast $100.

Any insight as to why 255/40's are so much cheaper than 235/40's in 17's? I've never seen that before. Is shaving available?

Edgeracing.com has the 235/40-17 for $172 each if you are looking to compare prices a bit.

Thanks. If you are looking for a set I am sure $4 will be fine to match. When I compare them to what I am getting 275/35 R18 Edge is at $302 per tire, and my price is under $260.


POS VETTE,
TOYO RA1's do not come in 19's.

I will update the list on the M5board. When it comes time for payment you will be contacted by our supplier and do it by credit card. I will not be taking credit cards.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I just thought I'd share a link to a site that I was planning on buying the RA1's from as soon as I get some funds together.

http://www.bmwwheels.com/bmwwheels_toyo_tires.asp

I can get (4) 235/40/17 shipped and shaved for $802.

94is,

Thanks for the link. I will look into it. It seems the pricing on the 17's a lot tighter than the 18's.

If you guys are interested, make sure you get in touch with me, I will work on the pricing for us.

I'm interested in 235/40/17 sizing and a good price.

235/40 R17 $176
235/45 R17 $176
255/40 R17 $144

Ok, I've talked to gb0gh3 about this and we have another option, used RA-1s. These tires are shaved to 4/32" and then used once (heat cycled) in either practice or qualifying. If we get 5+ orders, the price is:

235/40/17 - $500/set - $125 each
245-40/18 - $560/set - $140 each
275/35/18 - $620/set - $155 each
305/35/18 - $680/set - $170 each

If we get 10+, then we get free Tire Totes (~$40 value).

So the question is, is anyone interested in shaved and heat cycled RA-1s?

I'd be in for 1, maybe 2 sets of 235/40/17s at that price (assuming they are REALLY only 1 heat cycle).

Same here...

I'd be in for 1, maybe 2 sets of 235/40/17s as well.

Assuming they are REALLY only 1 heat cycle...

FYI. The GB for new Toyo RA1's will be going through, we got the min 10 sets today. This will be closed shortly (2-15), so if you want to participate, please contact me ASAP. You may email me directly at gbogh3@yahoo.com

thx

Update for the used RA-1s. I talked to the vendor and the deal is that they can't guaranty that there is only one heat cycle, since it's impossible to track the history of each tire. However, the tires are a "one-day" tire, meaning that they could have (but not necessarily) been use multiple times within a day (practice lap, lunch break, practice lap).

The group buy would also cover Hoosier GACs in the following sizes:
225/45/17 - $500/set
245/45/17 - $560/set
275/40/17 - $620/set

And non-DOT racing slicks from Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin, and Yokohama in 250/640/18 and 280/640/18 ($740/set).

So with that said, who is still interested?

I just ordered a set from BMW Wheels, waited a couple of days and received an email stating, "Sorry we no longer sell toyo tires, sorry for the inconvinence. Your charge card will be charged back."

I then ordered from Edge Racing. A set of 4 235/40 17 @ 172 each, $48.52 total shipping to Dallas, TX. $736 total cost.

Yeah, the exact same thing happened to me. I went with Edge also. :rofl

can you get used toyos in 205/40/17? if so, how much for a set?

thanks
chris

This GB is now closed. If you did not receive an email from me please let me ASAP. gbogh3@yahoo.com

Thanks and I hope everyone enjoys the tires.

The GB for the used RA-1s is still open, but there dosn't seem to be much interest. Anyone still interested.

I checked with the vendor and they don't carry 205. He said that if you run at least a 7.5" wide rim, then 235 should fit.

I'm still interrested in a set of the used RA-1s ... what would shipping to NY 13669 cost?

Is there still any interest in this? I've got another two "maybe" people.
