Extremely frustrated with 245/35 and 255/40 size combo!

I've been having such a hard time finding decently priced tires that are available in both of these sizes. I had my eye on either Bridgestone RE960AS and Yokohama Advan S.4., but both either have one size or the other. So frustrating!

Anyone else find that the options are slim with these tire sizes? Also, if it's relevant, I'm looking for new tires for my OEM 19" wheels.

I assume you're talking about 19s? (I drive a Z, so I'm not sure)
Falken 452s
245/35/19 - $125
255/40/19 - $174
Prices from Edgeracing.com
Go get it pricematched at Discount Tire/ America Tire.

Of the slim opinions available, this is the best. If money weren't an issue I'd just get Pilot Sport PS2's.

Thanks

Why is money an issue especially when tires are concerned? Cut back on food or drink or women/men or cellphone [cancer], all of which are bad for you.
Excellant tires are never bad for you!

I was trying to stay in the $250 range but there are not many options, which is totally $#&ing frustrating. I don't understand why there aren't more sizes offered for each tire. I do not want to spend $350 per tire.
