Cheapest Advan Neova's?
So the search was not very fruitful. Does anybody know where I can get these tires for the least amount of money? Just as a base line, tirerack is offering the a set of four in the 255/40/17 fitment for:
Price per tire: $224
$896 plus shipping and tax
total = $937.02 shipped to my door
Oh and any opinions about the tire itself would be appreciated since I haven't purchased yet. I'm getting REALLY tired of 400 treadwear tires.
Thanks

cant really go by tread wear ratings along, most the time they are pretty inaccurate. I'd say both tires would get 10-12K miles properly taken care of. those guys really could care less about anything but dry traction and response. everything else, tread wear included, gets kicked to the curb.

Great tire. I got 11,000 miles out of them with 4 track days and 1 autocross in there, although two of the track days were in the rain so that probably helped tire life a bit. If you are running an 8" wide wheel (i.e. stock), I would go with the 245/40-17 rather than the 255. The 255's feel very sloppy on the 8" wide wheel, so much so that after I got them I bought wider wheels that I wasn't really planning on buying. The 245's were great.

I'm on my second set of Neova's, don't get them unless you want to be spoiled and feel that your stuck buying expensive tires. First I ran 245's on a 8.5" wheel, now on the same wheel I run a 255/40/17. Very good tire, I dont think there is another tire for dry and wet conditions that I would run. My first set i paid 920 or so mounted and balanced (245/40/17). The 255's I got a killer hook up.
What size wheel you going to run them on?

Mounted and balancing would cost me about $100, pricey but well worth the assurance of not having my Ce's scratch by the dufus at tire rack. The guy uses some sort of airbag system that doesn't scratch rims.

I think he's referring to the Toyo RA-1 R-compound tire. In that case I don't think the Neovas are going to win, unless temps are cold and the RA-1's get no heat in them.
