Default How much do you spend per tire?

I just bought 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE050 Pole Positions for $295 a piece (this includes installation). Thats 270 per tire without balancing, valve replacement, and instillation. The tire specification is 275/35 R19, and 245/40 R18 for front, but the price is about the same.

I'm looking to get the Work XD9 or the CR KAI. I was looking at tires and found the vredestein tires. I am not going to do that fender rolling business. My setup if I decide to get aftermarket wheels:

Vredestein Sessenta Tires
F 245/40/18
R 275/35/18


Work XD9 (Bronze)
F 18 X 9 +20
R 18 X 10 +18

OR

Work CR KAI (Gunmetal)
F 18 X 8.5 + 20
R 18 X 9.5 +20

Edit: just re-read the question.

I install my own tires but they are about $150 each. Kumho MX's or Falken Azenis 615's

I like to go with BFG G-Force Sports. Maybe not the trendiest tire, or hte most aggressive, but I don't rely on tread pattern to pull "hoes". :lol: As often as tires are replaced, I just go with a reputable brand that offers something at a good price. No reason to go Z rated or whatever, I don't, and probably can't find a stretch of road long enough to travel at 150mph for a sustained period of 20 minutes.

Different brands of tires in different sizes cost different prices. With respect I don't see the point in a poll. Of what value is this information?
