I am still looking for Toyo T1-S's or Bridgestone S-03's in 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 sizes. I have yet to find a place that has either in stock, or can get them in a timely manner.
I know someone wants to see all my mods on (tires are holding me back), so someone help me out....

I ordered some from my local Discount Tire store yesterday. I'm not sure what distributor they called , but they had them in stock and sold them to me cheaper than onlinetires.com I'll have them by the end of the week.

kaufman tire is a tire store, I *think* its local to the south east right now. but they run the online store www.treadepot.com. to compete with online places. it was nice for me, went to their warehouse, picked them up at online cost, no shipping charges, and they mounted them onto the rim.
then later I brought the car in to kaufman, and they give a big discount, unmounted all 4 tires, and all 4 of the stock tires, put TPM in and remounted the tires, all for like 60$. not bad.

Thanks for the replies, I already ordered once from onlinetires.com, and they wanted to cancel the order because they could not get the tires. I called again today, they should get back with me.
I will check out some of the other places mentioned.
Hey ZZtopp, what tires did you get from discount tire, the only tire they told me they had were Yokohama AVS sports?

The manager made a few phone calls to distributors, found them in stock (exactly where I'm not sure), and matched the internet price. I don't know if all Discount Tire stores use the same distributors, so that may be the problem.

OK, still no tires.... Discount tire said they were both back ordered. So far I have tried:
www.treaddepot.com
www.tirerack.com
www.1010tires.com
www.onlinetires.com
...and also some local shops in the DFW area.
At this point I don't even care what kind of tires I get, I just want tires, my S-tune setup is here, and I wanted to install the brakes wheels and suspension all at the same time....
If I do not get the T1-S's or S-03's I would like to go cheaper though (I can find Perrelli's or Michilens, but they are higher priced).
Any other suggestions?

Have you considered 275/30 or 285/30 for the rears? Tirerack.com shows "Low Stock" on the 275 and "In Stock" on the 285, both Potenza SO3's. They also have Dunlop Sport S9000. I'm running the Dunlops right now on my 19's. At first I didn't care for them, especially compared to my 18" SO3's, but after wearing them in for a couple of hundred miles they feel fine. Hope this helps.

Hmmm.... I would like to stay away from 275/30, just too much of a difference from stock and it will cause problems with the TCS. I had not considered 285/30 (which would be a little closer). I have a 10" rear wheels so that may work.
I had decided to go with the 9000's, but now the 275/35 is out of stock on that also.
Good points, thanks.... I will consider.
