yeah Ryan , i have been doing a bit of 'tire' research and for the price and what these offer they seem a good deal. There is a set of RA1 toyos for sale here but as some one said they would be old stock and may be a little hard now? Just gotta get a set sent downunder as no-one here has them in stock,, unbelievable ..

Use these guys, I've brought a few orders in now and they do Aussie too. Have Tire Rack ship them to their warehouse in CA, then let Mainfrieght handle it from there.

A lot cheaper than what you've been quoted!

Shipping to CA generally adds tax to the order. There are several ways around it, though. Depends how switched-on the seller is. One is to use another delivery address (or company, outside CA) - Or companies like ShipTo. The other is to have the correct paperwork dealt & received, showing the delivery will be outside USA. Tax shouldn't be charged, but I've dealt with a ton of people with blinkers over the years

R888 have a 100 tw rating. U can run in the Good Guys autocross events but with those tires your times will not count or qualify you. There rules are 200 tw minimum.
