tire choices 335 range

[usa-69z]

Im after some advice on purchasing a set of 335 30 18 tires for my 69..

My car is street driven only but i want a good looking sidewall and treadpattern ... the car isnt driven very often so wear isnt a big factor.

tire rack has 'toyo proxes r888' & 'bf g force kdw2'

also on ebay here there is a new set of 'proxes RA1' tires for a good price..

whats is a good looking sidewall and pattern tire outa these ?

I run the R888 335's on my car. I love them. Great street tire, and they look killer too. Can be a little noisy on the highway though.

I see a lot of people loving on the R888's. BFG's should be nice as well.

R888s is a good choice. So is the new Rival in a few months.

I hope you didn't mean the KDW. That's a very dated tire at this point.

RA-1's were an epic tyre for what you're doing, great traction and good/fair wear, grooved too. I'd say anything second hand would have "gone off" by now, did hear a rumor that certain sizes were still being made though.

R888's are next best IMO, well in the dry anyway!

Waiting patiently for the Rival's to emerge :relax:

yeah Ryan , i have been doing a bit of 'tire' research and for the price and what these offer they seem a good deal. There is a set of RA1 toyos for sale here but as some one said they would be old stock and may be a little hard now? Just gotta get a set sent downunder as no-one here has them in stock,, unbelievable ..

[usa-69z]

can you believe 'tire rack' arnt allowed to ship toyo tires outside of the US??

and online tires want $636 to ship 2 tires .. mmmmm

the RA1 toyos here are dated 97V2507 - 25TH WEEK 2007 ?

these are the things we face 'downunder' with supply

Use these guys, I've brought a few orders in now and they do Aussie too. Have Tire Rack ship them to their warehouse in CA, then let Mainfrieght handle it from there.

A lot cheaper than what you've been quoted!

Does the R888 have a 200TW rating? Can it be used for goodguys?

[ProPont]

R888 have a 100 tw rating. U can run in the Good Guys autocross events but with those tires your times will not count or qualify you. There rules are 200 tw minimum.

If I was building a pt car today, I'd put super sports on it. No doubt....

There's a long list - And it's growing :(

Shipping to CA generally adds tax to the order. There are several ways around it, though. Depends how switched-on the seller is. One is to use another delivery address (or company, outside CA) - Or companies like ShipTo. The other is to have the correct paperwork dealt & received, showing the delivery will be outside USA. Tax shouldn't be charged, but I've dealt with a ton of people with blinkers over the years :(
