Moving Sale:
Toyo Proxes R888 Two 275 35 ZR 18, and Two 255 35 ZR 18. All tires are in like new condition with approximately 100 street miles and one track day. There are no flat spots, cuts, grooves or any other forms of damage whatsoever. These are great tires for street, autocross, and track day use. The 255's are ideal for 8" rims, while the 275's work best with 9-10" rims.

Note that if you run these 100 treadwear asian tires, THEM Will be mad at you. THEM will find you. Led by Mr. Smith, THEM want you to believe that use of these tires will cause your car to loose grip at the limit, flip over, and burst into flames. That's nonsense, Neo. Choose the red pill and hop aboard the Nebchadnezzar. Let's go visit the Oracle for some tea and a reality check. 100 TW tires are a lot of fun, last longer than you might think, and these are way cheap.

THEM aren't bad people, really. They just skipped page one, paragraph one, sentence one of the "Sanctioning Body and Promotor for Dummies" book which clearly states:
"Sponsors shall pay for access to your audience, not control of the rulebook."

Oh wow. What a good concept. Anyway, there are tons of track day clubs from coast to coast that will welcome you with open arms if you have 100 TW tires. Also you will be allowed at run at events hosted by THEM, but your times will not count. In most cases is no biggie if you are still learning how to drive.
Tires are $400 for the set or $175 each. Shipping is extra. On to the pix.

LOL! I already got some 180 TW Kuhmo's outlawed by THEM! So I might as well play in the sandbox with some Hoosier A6's right? If they were the right size I'd be on it! FWIW, pick me to run in the GM UTCC this year! My car's done! GLWS

Thanks!

Given the super low prices, we do have interest in these tires, thank you. I want to keep the momentum up. So here goes. I was hoping not to "Go There...", but I feel like I have no choice:

These tires will make you faster than a Lamborghini.

There I said it.

I'm not promoting the Ultimate Track Car Challenge any more, but go ahead and apply. They're always looking for a few good muscle cars.

Bring thy A game, my brother..
