More like if you want to be ripped off. 275/35/19 is $279 per tire, while most places here have it for $230 a tire.

G35 Coupe "Sport Package"

I will as soon as they arrive. Purchased package from Discount Tire through our new contact "Luke". Had a tough decision between this one and the Enkei RP03. Went with the 99B because I liked the cleaner look. They both weighed the same and have similar five spoke setup. I am not into wheels with big lips. Too hard to keep looking nice and I am very **** about the car looking nice. Luke got me a great deal. $2,500 shipped with the Falkens. I would suggest anyone interested in wheels or tires on their site to contact Luke. He was very easy to deal with and answered all of my questions very quickly. He was very patient while I made my decision, did not try to push me. Can't wait to get them mounted on car.

snap some pics of the tread to see how they are holding up after 15K miles.

Do you think you can get another 15K out of them?

ive had my t1-r's on for appx 18k miles right now. i think the rears will need to be replaced in a few k more miles im gonna see how long they last. the fronts look like they can last a bit more.

sweet, how much were they? the only problem with ordering online is finding someone to mount them alot of places i called would NOT mount tires bought online. where do you guys usually go if you buy them online and at how much? some places said they couldnt even handle 19's -__-

Cool

I replaced a set of T1-S's with the T1-R's and really disliked them at first.

The sidewall felt softer and I thought Toyo had really screwed up.

But after about 5K miles, they seemed to really get better. They stick like glue now.

They just felt really vague when they were new, but now I'm happy with them.
