Default cool. they're going for $80 and less. hit?

excess stock because world challenge is moving to RA1. so they have a bunch of shaved tires for $80 or less (if we buy more than 4)

Default well, if they're shaved, they're not going to be all that good in the rain anymore.

$80 for a used (shaved) tire is not such a great deal for a street tire, IMO.

Default would have to see what WC specs are for shaving. they were using these tires in the rain also

dunno if they were using full tread in the rain or not.

Default ***superb*** in the rain.

Toyo T1-S's are plain and simple the perfect street tire. Superb wet, excellent dry, good ride quality, and LIGHT. However, they have soft sidewalls, so your turn-in will suffer.

They are all i will ever run. At the price you listed buy them or i will hunt you down! I spent, IIRC, $130 for 15" 215/45-15's.

Cheers,
Sameer
