(2) 275/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position

Well, I made a huge mistake. I previously had the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on my car. I decided to go with the Bridgestones since they were $30 cheaper a tire and they were the only tire ranked better than the Goodyear according to TireRack.com. What I didn't realize is that thye have a treadwear of 140.

I've had them on my car for less than 3 weeks, meaning they are practically brand new. I paid $513 for both tires. Looking for $450.

Just so you know, if you dont already, you cant compare treadwear ratings between different brands of tires. Just because its 140 for the Bridgestone and a certain amount for the Goodyear's, doesnt mean you can compare them mileage wise.

I'm still going to sell them. I'd like to go with a wider tire, anyways.

The tires go for $248 each on Tirerack.com. Shipping for me would have been $25. That's $521 shipped brand new. I'm selling for $450 shipped. The tires have 400 miles on them and will be off the car tomorrow or Monday.

Will these fit the rear without any rubbing on the 19" forged OEM rays?

The tires may still be for sale...I found out that shipping is so expensive...UPS wanted $65 a tire!!!

I'm not sure. These tires don't rub at all with my 19"x10" wheels, lowered with 350Z tein h-tech springs.

i know how you feel, i just shipped my 18" s03's and they were $32 a piece with out a box.

$62 is outrageous, did you tell them you dont want em in a box??? there's a $10 fee if they're not in a box but its still cheaper than putting em in a box.

That was just with the tire and wrapping the shipping label around them. Screw that.

The tires are off the wheels and ready for shipping. $450 plus shipping. I'm going to call tomorrow to get better quotes on shipping.
