Best deal on 305/35/18 Mickeys or Toyo R888?
- Thread starter Bandit5.4
- Start date
2 different tires. if your lookingh to go straight and have the best hook then the mt's are the ones you want. if you want to handle and still have a soft compound tire that can handle some hp the the toyo is your tire. the r888 is not a drag radial tire, its a wet road race tire
I ran the r888 on my 94 turbo cobra making 700 at the wheels. Now the power cam on later and it was a solid axle car but I liked them. Hooked well, nice sidewall and decent in wet weather.
Depends on if you are a daily driver or not. I can't have any of those since I drive around all day.
In any case, call discount tire direct and they will match any price (and beat it) from whichever competitor you can find. I spent like an hour or two online and found a bunch of deals. I basically put the deals together and called DTD and they beat the price.

Ordered a pair of 305/35 18 Toyo R888's today for $641.......shipped
from ?
throw some Hoosiers on it or ET Street II's
Seriously...everywhere I tried was backordered. Also, called my local Discount Tire to get pricing/matching, and the rep had to call the distributor...said he'd call me back and I never got a call back. Even called again to follow up a few hours later and was pretty much given the run around. I had my CC in my hand ready to order if they could get a decent price.
From where? Everywhere I look is out of stock...
All the places with good prices are sold out
Here they are for 331 a piece and look to be in stock

They're not...I tried ordering on the phone from them after seeing them on the site. I was told it would be middle of Feb. before they got more.
I got my MT's (305/35/18) from Amazon. 324.00 a piece, free shipping and got them within 3 days of ordering. Car feels totally different now that I can actually put the power to the ground. Previously had 335/30/18 BFG's that wouldn't hook worth a damn.:rockon:

Sorry here.....http://www.tiresdirect.net/TOYO-Proxes-R888-305-35ZR18-10-P4211C789.aspx
It states "Out of Stock" I called anyways and they have them arriving to the warehouse next week; than will ship to my house
Tires direct have the 305's and are advertised as a "winter sale" when you call they will add shipping, than the sale price / discount, which came out to 641.00 for me.
NOBODY has a 275....most places have an ETA of 90 days or more.
For my TF wheels Im gonna run r888's outback, because this is my car show setup
I will a 17" set up on stockers (MT's) because 17" tires are cheaper & a little more sidewall
They are out of stock as mentioned
