Title: Cheapest Place to Buy Toyo R888 track tyres?
Post by: Wav on September 17, 2007, 01:43:04 PM
Hi Guys,

The prices on these things are silly, anyone know of a cheap supplier? I\'m after 225/45ZR17 or 235/45ZR17 and 255/40zR17 or 265/40zR17.

Cheers,

Paul:driving

Hotstepper1973 :

Before organising a group buy, please take a moment to read through the Group buy rules as laid out in the AGM of 2007

Camskill as mentioned above are old friends of mine from 7 years ago when I had my FTO.

Their prices and customer service get a big thumbs up from me.

Might be worth contacting Rotary Art, I\'m sure he is a Toyo dealer.

i think i can sort people out with toyo\'s, a friend of mine owns a alloy wheel and tyre firm. But he\'s only just set up after leaving his old company so i don\'t know how far he is set up with accounts at the moment.

Ok guys, been playing with my site and its all working a treat.
I have set up a group buy on Toyo\'s, the site will show my normal discounted price (off of toyo RRP) and will be discounted during the buying process, so its all automated, it will even give you a guiding handle if not to sure, if you order 1 tire it wil hint at if you buy 2 you will get discount, and will tell you what payment method to use, as I have done a good deal, I dont want to have the paypal chrages, so have opted for payment by cheque, or you can use cash or bank transfer. For those that want payment by card let me know and if you want to pay the card charges thats fine.
I have used the Toyo R888 in 17" at this stage as it must be the most popular size, if other sizes required please let me know.
Toyo 17" 235 rrp £183 Group buy price £138.40
Toyo 17" 255 rrp £195 Group buy price £148.00
I will start another thread for group buy so please try and keep it all on new thread.

I bought from Camskill a few weeks back.
 
235/45/17 - £146 each
255/40/17 - £156 each
 
Those prices include VAT and delivery. So the set of 4 was £604 inc vat, to my door.

i have had Yokohama A048s and R888s in mine without a problem. Mine is tight as a gnats\' chuff at the rear and i can\'t say i noticed any difference between either set of tyres above, or the jap-spec nastiness that was on it when i got it
