Wow, that's a lot of tires each day.

Who takes in the most at the tire dumps... I'll bet PA is on THAT list...

KenC !!!!! I would have a question that requires your expertise!!

I was approached by 2 Tire companies who want to replace Firestone as sponsor.

TOYO has=Proxes T1-S 245-55-16 or 235-50-16
Proxes RA-1 255-50-16[nearly a slick]
Proxes Z1 255-50-16

Pirelli has=P6000 235-50-16 or 245-55-16
P7000 SS 245-50-16.

My car will be less low this year [Hals]so the 55s would fill up the wheelwells nicely.

Thank you !!!!!

stones would be my first choice..but if the "goodies" are better with the other two..then the Toyo's would be my pic...Mr. P. has almost went bankrupt a couple of times and has been floundering in the U.S. for a long time....

The rate is the same as with Firestone,what bugs me is that the SZ50 EP isn't listed in B/F documentation,brochures,sales books or even on their site as a tire that is still available.

They only list Run Flats in 17-18" dimensions??

Even the Bridgestone selection in S-02 S-03 is extremely limited??
