I think it is good to keep them within 2 % or better.
I have a few conversion tables to calculate this, but here is my favourite one:

I was originally looking to purchase brand new set of Yokohama S.drives but the deal on these RE50A RFTs were too good to refuse.
They're actually $404 each for new RE050A RFT in 245/40 19 on tirerack

They were a used set but have great amount of treadlife (75-80% tread)..
and had everything mounted, balanced, and installed for $450 out the door.
Good deal, NO?

I've installed Falken 452's ($157 via www.onlinetires.com) on my Nismo 19' rims ($599 via ebay with 25% MS live discount) last week- so far so good. Rained like heck yesterday here in Nashville- no hydroplane on some serious puddles on I-65 @ 75mph.
