Is anyone on here running them or have you ran them, good or bad.
They have their 2 for one sale on again until Dec. 31st. and i'm thinking of buying a set of 14.5X32X15's, around $300.00 including shipping.

A customer of mine has them in that size. He got the 2 for 1 deal last year. I must say I was surprised how well they worked on his S-10 extended cab bracket race truck. It is a 421 SBC with a powerglide. Runs high 5's with 1.23 60 ft. He says he is going to buy a new set for next year on the 2 for 1 deal.

Here's the link, i didn't want to sound like i was advertising for them, i do have a friend with a 90's model backhalfed Camero with a pump gas 496, that runs 9.50's and it hooks like a bear.
They gave me a price of $267.12 this morning but didn't know the exact shipping, until they could get in touch with Toyo, since they are factory drop shipped, but said around $50.00 for the 14.5X32X15's. They only come in one compound.

Got a buddy that has been running them on his chassis car. He has been happy with them. Not a lot of runs so can't tell you what the longevity is going to be.

Whell more bad news there is only one set left. I paid the extra $45 and got front runners to. So all 4 new tires shipped cost me the same as 1 pair off goodyears. I did not want to risk it they said they may be 2 to 3 month back log. My Dad is looking out for me.

Hi Zip-
I bought them last fall on the 2 for 1 sale @ Les Schawb here in Oregon on my 69 Camaro I just got rid of. Got front runners & both Toyo slicks (29"X15X9.5)... $385.00!!! That is a deal. I never got the chance to try them a Woodburn, but I did put them through some abuse.

my lord my Goodyears were $600 after shipping. :(
I ran slicks that were 10 years old before and they still worked ok. maybe my car just works well but I had no problem with the tires being so old. As long as they are not dry rotted I'll use em. I can't afford new slicks every year just to horse around with the car a few times a year.

I just ordered a pair of 32 X 14.5-15 Toyo slicks in the buy 1 get 1 free offer from Treadzone.com. They were $258.95 + shipping. The salesman said they had a bunch more that size in stock if anybody else is interested. Shipping to MT is going to run about $100 he thought.

I bought a set of 32X14.5X15's from Les Schwab, last thursday, UPS are surely proud of their little brown trucks, shipping to Louisana was $133.14 actual cost and they will be here on the 18th. Still 1/2 the cost of a set of GY's the same size.
Todd my tires are 10yrs old also and they still worked but are showing dry rot and the last thing i need is a tire blow out at 100 plus MPH.
GY's are now $350.00 per tire in that size plus shipping.
