anywhere from $800 - $975 shipped online [i'm located in the 808!], or if i'm lucky i can score some brand new falkens/potenza's from a friend locally for under 8 bills.

price matched w/ tirerack at a near by tire shop $165 for each tires... everything came out to be $890. got them because, they were the best tires i could get around that price. and will last alot longer then our stock tires.

i was trying to get Kumho escta MXs, some of the M3 guys and Supra (500+ hp and still grips thro corners and launches) guys used it and said they were the best for the money ($140 and perf like S03s). BUT they are hard to find... lot of the shops dont carry them.

Your tire size is smaller than the stock diameter....stock in the rear is 245/45-18 (26.7" diam). Using 40-series tires gives you a diam of 25.7, a 3.6% difference. When the speedo reads 60 mph, you are actually traveling 57.8 mph. The fronts are mis-sized by 2.2%

Oh my god, the day I have to replace the 19's....man at that price it might be cheaper to pay a few more bills and get new 19's w/ tires as a package.
