did you go to disc. tire? The closest I can get to that is $840 with no $10 disposal fee, skip the $30 per tire certificates of repl. +52 install/life balance and $64 tax.(unless they want to negotiate)
If I take them my coupe 19 wheels for them to mount, the price should not be any diff. right? It will actually be easier, since they don't have to dismount tires from the 17s.
How is the ride on the 245/35/19s. That is the size that I will be going with on my new coupe 19s. I just can't make up my mind on azenis or fk452. What wheels are you running?
I want the 35 aspect ratio b/c this should prevent rubbing on the rear with a 1" drop. They are 86mm tall which is 4 mm shorter than a stock m3 setup(not bad). Speedo should be 1 mph too fast and an overall height of 654.1mm vs 668.3 on my stock 17s. This is w/in 2.13% of stock and it's recommended to be within 3% of the stock height for brake performance etc.

Yes is was Discount Tire
What happened was, I got a quote for Goodrich UHP's for that price over the web. It said that they were in stock at the Corpus Christi Dealer. When I went there, they said it was a two month wait on them! But he said "I can get you the Falkens for the same price and he did what your are saying except I do have the hazard on them.
The ride is everything I had hoped for. The only thing wrong is the speedometer is 2.5 mph FAST now. I should have gotten 255 or 265 40 19's instead. The M45 sport rims are a full one inch wider (8.5") than the stock G sport wheels.

I did notice a slight increase in ride harshness that was more than made up by the steering reponse and turn in. The rain traction is as good or better than the Goodboot RS-A's (I didn't think it could get better than that) and the noise is less.

falken azenis are somewhat more expensive and the fk452 is just as good for hard driving and excellent tire wear.
