After a little research - it appears that Goodyear Billboards are actually race tires, obviously not dot -but, used on the street nonetheless - therefore, the goodyear site is racinggoodyear.com - they have a distributor list - NE section is Carter-Maxwell, Inc in Bethany, OK.

Clearly, other distributors also have the tire - but not all of them are listed.

Could you post the exact link please. I did a search and could not find the exact one ?

I did find them and left a message. We'll see what happens.
Thank you much !

Kevin, you just aren't going to get any huge discounts on these tires. For example, cost on the rears are $232 and they sell for about $250. Even at cost, a set of 4 is only going to save you around $100. And then you have to ship them if you can't find someone local.

Even though I manage a Goodyear, the racing tires are NOT available to the retail tire stores. I still had to buy mine from a Goodyear Racing distributor. Luckily for me, I had one in Daytona and he gave me the tires for cost and I picked them up.

I agree Sal, it's not going to happen, and I'm sorry for all of us that would love a set. I think a $1,000 + shipping, is not what I will spend. I gave it a gallant try though.

With the help from cobra de capell, he found a dealer, Carter-Maxwell, Inc in Bethany, OK.
I talked with them and he said if we sold 5 sets, on one invoice, he would give us a 15% discount which is $794 + shipping.

Finally...a dealer that is hungry. That's a great price. I'm still penniless, but a great price never-the-less.

While I like the Billboards, and have thought about buying a set, I think I'll wait until the Yokos wear out (or get too old) and then buy the Avons.

Thanks for doing the prep work though.

Rodney - Your Yokos will age out before they wear out...unless you light 'em up. I've got 5K miles on my Yokos and they look like new.

My 9+ year old GY-GTII's had ~20K on them; they still "looked fine", but they were too old be reliable anymore. I love my Avons! They stick to the road just like my GY Slicks did when I open-tracked, yet they're radials for smooth and easy street driving.

Kevin;

I am in for a set! I am located in the Bay Area, so not a problem for me to head out to Castro Valley for pick up.

Let me know particulars...George

George, the dealer with the $794/set deal is not Roger Kraus in Castro Valley, CA, but Carter-Maxwell in Oklahoma.

Trust me, I want the Avons, but my Yoko's only have about 600 miles on them. Such a waste. I wish the Avon's had the Goodyear Eagle lettering on them. Best of both worlds for me.

Hello George, yes the dealer is in Oklahoma. Let me know for sure if you still want to order and then I'll put you on the list.

Were getting real close for the 5 set tires. I may not call in the orders maybe, until Monday, just to make sure others that have not seen my post, to have a chance to be included. When do you guys think we should order ?
After the 5 sets being filled or wait a period of time, Monday, a week from now ect. ?
