NO WAY,$270 FOR ONE 245,45W18 MICHILIN PILOT SPORT

I got a steel plate in my rear tire this morning and have decided to buy a new one instead of fixing it but are shocked that our 245 18"s are so expensive, $290 each. You got to be kidding me. Well, I need help with an alternative brand. Thank you all in advance.

Your not thinking about replacing one tire with another brand are you?

I've been hearing good things about the SO3s also, I will be looking at those when I change. Also, if you go up by one size in back to 255/45, you have a lot more brand choices. In that size I like the Dunlop SP D9000. I've had Dunlops in the past and have loved them. The 255 size should also work well with our current stagger. Also, I assume you will be replacing more than one tire.

The S-03's are great tires but they will wear out after only 10k-15k. The pilots handle about the same and last a lot longer. You really do get what you pay for.

Yea, I have 10,000 miles on my pilots and they are still great, not much difference from when they were new. And I do go hard on them. I bet these will last another 10,000 miles.
