Toyo Proxes T1R

Just got back from my most recent track day on my Toyo Proxes T1Rs and now I need another set.

I bought my first set from Edge Racing and now they are out of business.

Anyone have any suggestions where to buy these cheap?

Thanks!

You may be mistaking the R1Rs. I'm looking for the T1Rs and in the size that I want (205/45/17) they should be around $130 - $145. Just wondering where I would find the best price.

Since TireRack does not carry Toyos, I get them at http://www.onlinetires.com They have gone up though, the T1R in 205/45-17 size is $150

Treadepot.com lists the 205/45-17 for $132 each plus a $25 rebate on a set of four tires.

I just replaced my 215/40-18 T1Rs a couple weeks ago. I went to my local tire shop and they searched their distributors for the T1Rs. They said the tires are hard to obtain and had to get them from two different distributors. The prices had gone up $10 from last year.

Thanks everyone for their input.

I ordered from Treadepot today. They actually had a $40 instant discount.

Tires were $132 before the discount. Shipping was $51 and the total ended up being $539.00 shipped.

Treadzone's price was cheaper ($126) but no discount and their shipping was $65 for a total of $569.00.

Where in St. Louis did you take them to have them put on? And would you go back?
