Anybody know of a Toyo dealer that stocks RA1s in the VA/MD/WV/DC area? I'm having a tough time finding any around here and have an event next week at VIR. Not enough time to have a set shipped to me.

I had a set on order from an internet dealer, and after telling me they had them in stock and placing an order, they came back and said their distributor made a mistake and they don't have the tires. Then I found a local place that said they could get a set for me, and today they call me up with almost the same story - that their distributor told them they had a full set in stock and would ship them out, but then two days later only two tires show up and the others are apparently back-ordered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have purchased a few sets of RA-01s from Radial Tire in Silver Spring, MD.

Awesome, thanks for the help. They don't have a full set of RA1s but they do have R888s and their prices are actually really good. This saves me a very long drive.

Thanks!

 

Joe...this is the shop I was referring to last night...great guys!

Thanks Nick, if you hadn't mentioned them I wouldn't have thought to ask here. I always get my tires through online distributors so I didn't know there were any shops in the area that sell the Toyo race tires. I try to never let things get down to last-minute like this for track events but somehow it always happens with something!

 

Got a great deal on the R888s at Radial Tire - a set of 275/40-17 mounted and balanced for under $900. They had tons of Toyo RA1s and R888s sitting around the shop and apparently they sell to a lot of local racers. I'm going back to them next time I need tires, screw getting them shipped and then paying $100+ for mounting and balancing at a local shop.
