They are not really hard to find. Just search through the sponsors on this site. I am not sure if you will be able to find a pair for less than $150

From what I've heard, General makes some High Perf. tires that are inexpensive. Not sure on the tread life or performance though.

rims are on for 4 months max...then crappy weather...dont need rediculuos tires for 4 months plus the UHP tires are soft.....which means pot holes and constuction causes blow outs and flats all the time, i used to have a sentra ser spec v with z rated 18's got a flat tire everymonth for 5months

if you're in long island don't get cheap tires. you'll hit a pothole and chepa tires won't have the good compound as better tires. it's better to have the $$ tire and keep the rim unbent

Is there a noticeable visual difference between 245/40/19 tires vs. 245/35/19 tires? I know the sidewall will be shorter on the 35's but how noticeable is it? I know the 40's will be closer to stock, but aesthetically, what would you guys recommend?

How much?! Those must have been WAY over your original budget...from my understanding, run flats aren't cheap!
