*Help* Where to buy? - Toyo Proxes T1-R Tyres

Post by Donato »

Morning,
Just after buying a set of Toyo T1R Proxes for the back wheels on the MR2. 225/50/15 size. I've tried a couple of places but all seem to be on back order with Toyo for 3+ Months.

I kind of need them for my Euro-Trip on Saturday ](*,) I've bought the fronts, i just can't find a supplier for the rears.

HELP?!

I've tried;
Ears Motorsport - Out of stock
Stapletons - Don't supply
Vikings - Don't supply
eBay - Out of stock
Camskill - No longer supply

If you decide that you don't want to pay the blackcircles price and want an alternative, I had Falkens on my NA and they were very good. :thumleft:
No 2 :(

I managed to source some. Everywhere i tried are out of stock. The thing is i've been told by all the ex-suppliers is that Toyo have discontinued the Proxes T1-R untill further notice.
The only place i could find them from in 225/50/15 where Black Circles @ £204 deliverd for 2. When i phoned up they had 24 in stock and weren't getting any in after that.

I wonder if they'll bring out a newer tyre or if that'll be it :-k

I thought the T1R replaced the T1 sport years ago.

My local tyre place gave me a price for the T1Rs, I haven't ordered them yet though, so who knows.

T1S replaced T1R in sizes including and above 16" late last year. 15" and below T1R should still be available.

Guys, Toyo have a UK sales office, call them and get an answer from the horses mouth instead of whipping up rumours! :lol:
