I have been looking at doing some mods with my tax return and thought springs/suspension. I Also have been unsure about about getting some 19's or 20's due to the cost of the tires.

I have been playing on tirerack and found over a dozen different tires from $106-139. That to me is amazing.

So I have been looking at a set of GT500 take offs. I have also been looking at a few sets of 20's and can not make up my mind. The gt500 set shipped would be about $900 and the 20's would be $900-1200. The low price of the 20 inch tires really brings them close together.

be sure to check out discount tire and or discount tire direct.

Since 20s and 22s started coming as OEM equipment! Even 22s are crazy, for good brands too. I got a set of 305/45/22 Yokohama Parada Spec Xs for like $150 or so!

Flagstang

is it odd that I seen a set of 21's and thought "wow that would be cool to have a off size like that"?

$150 a tire? Do they even stick to the road??

Yokohama Parada Spec Xs are very nice tires...I picked the tires and was surprised by the price when I started shopping around. They are the highest rated out of the 8 tires available on Tire Rack in that size. Great in the rain, quiet on the highway, and a nice tread pattern:

I used to pay $350 a tire for 315/35/17s, so I'm not shy when it comes to investing in rubber. Definitely don't do off-brands or cheapo stuff.

well the 31x10.5 x 15 truck tires arent cheap . I just put a set of Big O XTs on my truck cost me over 650 .

That's true! My Nitto Terra Grapplers in the same size were $300 each.

If only those jerks who slashed my tires had waited a few months. I coulda saved a *bundle*, even on the 17s. I checked.

This is true, Trojans all the way...


Sorry, the dirty part of my mind is always ticking haha

I'm running Exclaims as well, same setup except I'm running 275/35's in the rear. I've only put about 900mi on her since the new shoes and I'm loving it IMO, best tires for the price. I was expecting a huge decrease in ride comfort, but she actually drives so much better all around

Are you lowered Glenn? If so how does it ride/handle?

And like mentioned above to the OP, get the best price you can find off tirerack/etc. and go down to your local discount tire and they will beat the price 95% of the time. I got mine for $114/$154 F/R.

Glenn

yep lowered ebach pros. Love the handling but you do feel the bumps more for sure

Bought a set of Excalim UHP 255/35/20 from Discount Tire in late 2007 for $115.

Glenn, Were are these prices from, please?

Glenn

Discount tire Steve. Discount tire direct is probably a little cheaper.
