I'm not sure if these are what your looking for but I'm getting me some for next year when I'm out racing on the track.

Toyo Race Tyres (Circuit Rubbah!)

http://www.palmside.co.nz/palmnzframes.htm

That website has some prices on some of the Toyo tyres which actually is not bad at all. The website designer should be kicked in the balls though...his frames are all overlapping.

If you're looking to buy Toyos, try giving the guys at fairviews in hamilton a call - you'll end up paying a hell of a lot less in freight if you're in the north island, plus from memory I think I paid a little less for the tyres (R888 205/50/15) than if I'd bought them from Palmside.

[Silent Knight]

How much did you pay per tyre for the R888s?

Try Race Rubber in Wellington also for prices -

www.racetyre.co.nz

They sorted me out a treat earlier this year - keep in Mind that Toyo often have speacials on certain tyres and sizes so that's the best time to buy, can be upto $50 or so per tyre cheaper than advertised RRP prices.

if you just want tyres for drag racing those toyo's wont be very good value for money
sure they're stickier but the tyre is designed for cornering too so a proper drag tyre will work heaps better

thats what im after ..not race tyres but drag tyres that are dot legal .. M/Ts are only available in 15inch lowest right ? ideally i require a 14inch tyre

Hoosier do a PRO DOT tyre in 26x9.5x14.

7-9" rim width reccomended

Cardwells do them.

I paid $1013 for the set of R888's off fairviews, so that's about $253 a tyre. The DDZ-02's are worth $280 ea directly off Dunlop - dunno how much extra you would pay if you went to a tyre store.
