Yes, they are parallel imports, and production date is 04. They should have a 3 yr life on the rubber, which is why he is selling them at reduced prices

According to the Toyo website, the tyres are only good for 12 months and they specifically warn about buying parallel imports.

The "shelf-life" of the "GGG" and "SG" tread compounds is considerably shorter

compared to the compounds imported by Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited. The

majority of the parallel import Proxes R888 tyres in "GGG" & "SG" tread compounds were

produced in 2004. Performance of the "GGG" & "SG" compounds will not be as the

manufacturer intended where tyres are more than 12 months old. This is one reason why

Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited keeps very limited stocks of Proxes R888 "GGG"

tyres.

Perhaps the price should be a bit better considering the reduced performance?

picked up 2 of the r888 in 16's extremly soft tyre compound. mate u wana bust the price down. i think less then 150 for any semi slick is a deccent price, pretty much similar price for a normal road tyre in 225 40 16. taleb's was very helpfull also.

    • I had issues with my car today after removing the rear bumper. The headlights aren't working when turning the stalk but high beams are working and the rear tail light where the reverse camera is wired up won't turn on when the stalk is activated, but the reverse camera, tail light indicator and brake light all seem to work. I checked the fuses they aren't blown. I think the reverse camera could have possibly gotten pinched but shouldn't be as there is a decent amount of room. I did use the lights and loom for the license plate from the new bumper but also tested the old one in case but made no difference. This isn't for a skyline also. Any ideas what it could be? It was working when I drove I'm pretty sure, then on my return home I noticed my headlights weren't working.

    • If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!
    • Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps
