the first prices I have seen seem to indicate they will be very expensive. No way I'm going to pay $274 a tire for 225/40/18's.<ul><li><a href="http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Toyo&amp;tiremodel=Proxes+T1R"> link</a></li></ul>

$228 at edge racing-probably under $200 at my favorite spot-NH. Where do you live?

Default LOL, mine was off today as well. Who knows???

I'm not going to worry about it unless it comes on again. But the card feels like new, very tight and solid.

Default I have a local guy too, but he doesn't have pricing yet.

Was just using it as a comparison. Looks like they will be a lot more than T1S's.

Default I picked up some used Oetinger RZ's last year.

They already had low mileage S03'mounted. They are just about done and looking for cheaper, quieter, softer tire.
