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.

    • Sorry guys I won’t make it. Tried hard to have my car fixed but I can’t get her to rev under load. Can cycle through the gears in granny mode but have nothing over 3,000rpm if I need to hit the accelerator.
    • Hmpf, still dealing with the flu/covid/plague so won't make it this time
    • Yeah, even here in SA they used to not allow coilovers if they could be adjusted (down) after they'd been inspected and "passed" at Regency, because....you could just drive away and lower it. But now they take the view that they may as well just pass them, and if you lower it below the limit then it's on you when you get defected and they will make your life harder on the subsequent clearance inspection.
    • Just to give an update coilovers passed without any issue!  
    • Ducan , yeah sure mate , the unit is https://www.carlinkit.com/ambient TBox Ambient -  plugs straight into the USB C and it runs as a android  unit and you can link your phone to it via Bluetooth , but it only allows for one phone at a time. you can download and apk files you want and load it on there , I downloaded a basic maps apk (OsmAnd+ — Maps & GPS Offline) so I can run navigation without data usage , its not as good at google or wazes but it works fine for what I need. I can put up screen shots if you like. Cheers Pac
