Edge Racing having HUGE sale on Tires

Just so happens I'm in the market for some new rubber and I stumbled across Edge Racing's "WTF Sale"

I'm thinking of picking up a set of Toyo T1R's (245, 40, 18) since they're only $154 each. I think that's the lowest price I've seen on those tires.

Figured I'd share in case anyone else is looking for similar tires.

Nice !!!

Doesn't look like they can beat my local guy on the Hankooks or the Falkens.

Them Toyos look good though, I may need to ad them to the list.

I got THIS CLOSE to ordering new wheels to put those Toyo's on but property tax is a pain in the ***.
I'll scorch through these things in a year and get the wheels for next X-mas.

I'm definitely going to try the T1R's once my stock Potenzas are worn.

I'll check back you with Jedi when you have a chance to get the Toyos mounted....you gonna wait until spring or what?

Grats Jorge! As I have mentioned in the past, you will be pleased with the performance and esthetics of the T1R......I'm perplexed as to why it took you this long to get them

I have a feeling the T1R's will wear a little faster than the Kumho's.

Negative Ghost Rider.

Kumho MX tread = 220
Toyo T1R = 280

Too bad there is no uniformity between manufacturers.

That treadwear rating will be consistant through a full line from 1 company, So when kuhmo rates the MX as a 220 and the spt as a 320, you know that the MX is a softer tire.

Look at bridgestone, EVERY potenza is listed as a 140. I doubt the all-season potenza(140) is nearly as soft as the kuhmo 220.

Okay, so I was looking at a set of rims on there... (Raze R74) and I see no way in hell to purchase them in 18x9.5 +35 for the RX8...

If you choose the RX8 as the vehicle, it will only give you the option of:
Size: 18x7.5
PCD: 5x114.3
ET: 42

And if you just go in and choose the Raze listing on their website, it doesn't give you the option to make a purchase, just shows you the sizes and tells you they have a sale on...

Is there anything a person can do, short of actually calling them? (I'm not 100% sure I want them, but i'm quite interested)

friends don't let friends buy T1-Rs.

They're all style over substance. They chunk, and they have soft sidewalls.

Thanks for the info, Jorge! I've been eyeing new tires so this happens to come at a perfect time for me.

I'm also debating between the Falken Azenis Rt615 for only $145

The Bridgestone Potenza....
The RE-01R is at 180
The RE960AS is listed at 400

The RE050A is 140.

My bad, A couple of the bridgestones do have a different #

But are the turanza el46 standard touring all-season really a 260?
And the turanza er33 grand touring tire is a 140?

So the Turanza er33 touring tire is softer than the Falken Azenis, the Toyo T1-r, the kuhmo MX, Any Pilot sport series, the Direzza sport Z1, And their own Bridgestone RE-01R???????

I call Shenanigans!!!!
