I cant believe tires are so expensive....
I cannot believe I just spent close to $900 for tires....19 inch rims suck!! 
Oh well...i hope they atleast last a good while...I got the toyo t1r's...oh well...TD4L has great service....I ordered 2 rears sunday night and I think they are sitting at home waiting for me right now today...Just ordered another front set as tires-easy.com said they were out of stock of the falken fk452's AFTER I ordered them..
...anyways thats my rant.

Failure to budget [$2000 per year] mainteance and repair money for TIRES, WHEELS, Brakes, fluid changes..................and to do a prorated reserve for other significant wear and tear items.............leaves many whinning.

for a 10.5 rear, from the consenus here on the forum, I think the best size for tire is 285/35/19.
275/35/19 tire will look abit stretched but still fine. alot of guys are using this size so the tire doesn't rub against the rear fender.
imo, 255 will be too stretched for 10.5. it will fit fine with a 9.5 rim.

well tires-easy.com had the falken 452's in 245/35/19 for $107 a piece and shippign was like $50 for me, but considering that the tires were $107 it was a hell of a deal. So I ordered them and 2 days later with no notification of shipment I called them only to find out they didnt have them. So all in all I just ordered two more toyos....total came out to be around $870 i think for all 4.

Discount tire has free shipping on all tires(i think) and free replacements. If unrepairable. The free replacements are 25 a tire.
Ryan I am in the process. You said that they held your 245rwhp so I figured they hold me just fine
