Toyo T1S TireCraft Tire Deal...

[MilesM]

Hey guys,

Got an email from Jeff Wenzel from TireCraft and asked me to pass along this deal for you. Might be a great street tire to run in sprints, lapping, summer, etc. Martin ran them on his miata for a few HADA autoXs and they were a lot of fun - no RA1, but still a lot of fun on the street. Awesome price too!

Here's his message:

If possible I'd like you to pass on a special to your members? Currently in stock 225/50R15 Toyo T1S shaved to 4/32nds (brand new) HADA members $60.00 each installed. These would be great for lapping,solo,drifting etc.We also have 18'' in stock.

Thanks ,

Crazy price!

Any deals on 205/50/15?

[MilesM]

Call him. Says he has 40 of the 225s.

That's a great deal! The T1S has been discontinued for over a year now, probably closer to two years. They're probably getting rid of old stock, and at that price they're really giving their customers a great deal. I'm sure those were $200/each brand new, not even shaved!

Anyone know what the treadwear rating on this tire is? 100?

[MilesM]

Published it's 280, but from a review I read said it might have been overstated by a bit. From AutoX them 3 times in the summer, they've shown wear, but not tons of it. Shaving is definitely good, since they chunked a bit fresh.

[mxqisit]

Its a "140 or higher" tire.

[TodF]

These must be left over from when World Challenge used to run them a few years back... can't think of any other reason they'd be shaved. Still a pretty sweet deal but I'm betting all the date codes are from '03 or '04.

[MilesM]

I've asked jeff for production dates to end the speculating. :)

[MilesM]

Todd's right. All have been shaved in the last 8 months. Here's his reply:


Production dates are 2002 and up! Not super fresh, not too old, and they were shaved within the last eight months.

[TodF]

These could definitely be cool for the new pip rules for street tires in solosprint (they don't say anything about shaving do they???)

[Slowpoke]

Shaving IS permitted in the 2008 Solosprint tire rules.
