Toyo Price Increase March 1

[chicane23]

I was told that Toyo will have a 7% increase coming in March.

Just wanted to let all the great racers of AICMCTexas know as soon as possible.

I hope you all have a great season and be safe everyone.

For you that don't know, John's Chicane23 is a great place to get anything you need for racing. He has taken care of me every time.

I do have some bad news...All the 275/40-17s are gone now.

They are now on National Back Order, due in Mid March.

You guys are quick. ;-)

There are (10) 255/50-16s left.

If I can help, please let me know.

Good thing CMC1 lives through this year... so much for a spec tire class. :cry:

Sounds fishy from Toyo's end... dry up the supply quickly so you can slam out "new" tires with a price increase... gotta love it. :twisted:

I was thinking the same thing.

Why the surprise? The cost of many raw materials are up as its simple supply/demand. You know Helicopter Ben wants inflation and the FED's mantra is 2% inflation.
It still shocks me that they that much in Toyo Bucks for our racing. Especially when a class may only have 5 entrants.

[marshall_mosty]

If they are inflating the price of toyo's by 7%, the need to up the contingency by 7%.

$160 - 1st
$107 - 2nd
$80 - 3rd
$53 - 4th
$27 - 5th

Just saying...

OK, it appears Covini stole Bryan's log-on information.

Not cool.
