Yokohama A046D Replacement tires
I got a call from a woman who was looking to replace the rear tires on her EVO that she said her 19yr old son burned to the ground. My sales rep was in and told me they were going to be a little hard to come get.
You are required to have and EVO to buy them. They are so new my sales rep had to call me back to give me the price. I am a Yokohama dealer so I can get them. They Retail for $296ea, I can get them for $230ea plus shipping. They have them in stock now. I checked on my sales rep and they are available in the Georgia warehouse.
If you need any give me a call. Takes about 2 days to them. PM me or drop me an emai. tswift@frisbyracetire.com

Tell you what, I can sell a longer lasting Toyo tire for less money. That way I don't compete with the Rack anyway. They aren't allowed to sell Toyo. I love the Yokohama's but Toyo's are just as good if not better. If you need anything tire wise for the EVO let me know. T1S can be had for $165ea plus shipping. This is the same tire they use in the Speed Touring Championship.

I have had great luck with the Toyo T1S in the past and found them to be every bit as good as Michelin Pilot Sports. The T1S tires also wear better without sacrificing grip. They also look great with a very aggressive looking tread pattern with excellent dry and wet weather performance characteristics.
That said, they are not going to provide the grip of the Advans.
Toyo does offer a race compound ultra performance tire though.
BTW- I haven't checked..... does Toyo actually have a T1S in the 235/45/17 size, and if so what kind of price?

When one uses the term "best" you should remember that best is subjective. One guy wants grip another wants tread wear. So when I say the T1S is as good as an Advan, I'm refering to overall rating of the tire. For the life of me I don't know why Yokohama puts such a soft tire on sports cars. They did the same with the Acura NSX. 7000 miles isn't much.
As for the 235/40-17 T1S, $165 plus shipping. Much more cost efficent tire. If you guys really want D.O.T. legal race tires for the street, Toyo RA1 is the only way to go. Treadwear Rating is a 40. But these tires last. I can shave the to whatever you want. For those on the west coast, this is a great tire to drive the tight fire roads on. 235/40-17 $185 plus shipping. I have then in stock

One more thing, if you are asking can anyone beat the Tire Rack for a cheaper price? You are dreaming. They are selling them for about $25 over cost Retail. Remember Yokohama says the Retail is suggested at $296. That is the way it is.

noone can compete with TireRack... unless they sell something they do not...
hence the push here on Toyo... which is a good tire, but i'm a Bridgestone man, through and through...
