Just looking at 245/45-17 performance tires and stumbled across the Toyo PXR32 UHP tire on Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Toyo&tireModel=PXR32&vehicleSearch=false&partnum=445WR7PXR32&fromCompare1=yes&place=39). First off, since when does TR have any Toyo tires? When I go to look at tire brands, Toyo isn't even an option. :confused: And for this tire they only list 2 sizes - 245/45-17s and 225/45-17s. Weird.

The description says Ultra High Performance tire, but that looks more Max or Extreme to me:

Anyone know what the story is? Luke?
