    TOYO RA1s in 27535R18

    I've called everyone I know (Sierra, Cassidy, Appalacian, etc.)
    No one has any. Rumor has it that size 18s have been removed from Toyo's manufacturing "list" and they will not be making any more. Guy on national forum says they are backordered until March. Not sure what is what but I needz tires or we'll be 1 AI car short in Houston.

    Help a brother?

    PS. I will pay a decent price ($330 a tire?) - I will not get raped on this ...so not interested in $500 a tire which is what I hear is out there.

    Will 17s not clear your brakes?

    You would be money ahead to go down to a 13" rotor and 17" wheel.

    I could sell you 2 16" tires, cut them and shoe-goo them together to make one of what you need.
