Posting information from Howard at Talon Tires

As promised, here’s an update on Toyo’s competition tires and our sponsorship of your club.


The R888 has been released in Canada. It will have 2/32” less tread depth than the RA-1 (6/32 vs. 8/32) but the tread compound (hard) will be similar: durable, long wearing. It will replace the RA-1, which will be liquidated while supplies last.

Please note: All R888’s sold in Canada will be stamped with a logo that identifies it specifically as a Toyo Canada tire. Only tires with this stamp will qualify in various “Spec Series” in Canada.

Your club’s current discount is 35%, but if BMWCC-Quebec members would like to buy Toyo’s at Code 1 (list-40%) then please send a list of active members along with their membership# to: James de Chavez <jdechavez@toyocanada.com>.
He has confirmed to me that he’s willing to do so for clubs that we sponsor. (Toyo needs a list of members merely to ensure that the submissions for the R-group status of Code are being made by active members of car clubs approved by Toyo. They need only the name and member #( no personal info) as a cross reference.)


Please contact me if you have any other questions about these or any other topics related to our sponsorship or our products.

Regards,
Howard

Very interesting.

I checked the R888 in 235.40.17 which retails for $362. With the 40% club discount it would cost only $217.20 which makes it competitive with US pricing.

This great discount from Talon Tire is another reason to get a club membership.

Thanks Howard.

Est-ce que le 35% d'escompte est valide pour d'autres marque/model de pneus chez Talon pour les membres BMWQC?

AFAIK this discount schedule applies only to the Toyo R888s. If you are interested in other brands/models, you might want to give Howard (or John) a call 514-337-0833.

Cheapest RA1 235/40/17 can be found at 185$ US each, but plus 50$ for shipping (4) and taxes over it.

It's a good deal for sure.

Edge Racing has the 235.40.17 R888 available in Mach for $193usd each. So, yes, Talon's price are quite good.

I wonder if TOYO will have RA1s at fire sale prices :eek:
