Roadster- You really need a new parts place. 295/35/19 PS2s are 552 at discount tire and they never have good prices.

The Roadster, you should really check with teh vendors here on the forums for parts. It sounds to me like your paying retail for everything and you shouldn't be paying that much.

19s look to be in the 350 range.

even at 400 (factor in shipping) that's 800 for the rears and chances are you're running staggered wheels, so the fronts should be a good bit cheaper, figure 325 each so 350 with shipping, 700 for both.

that's 1500 shipped for tires.

The LE RE30's would look SO sick on your car, but I know you already ordered yours and the LE's were just released.

I guess I lucked out getting my LE28's back in March

wow I can't believe OP has been on the forums so long, but still doesn't do his research before buying wheels/tires......

Sorry to say, but you got raped. More like gang-banged.

Cancel the order.

Call up Andy@Performance or any of our vendors and ask for a quote for the same wheels.

Call up Rick@Status for a quote for the tires.

There. I just saved you $2500. 10% commission is fine by me. I have paypal.

That is correct, is that the size the OP is using? both fronts and rears?
I would find it hard to go with that tire when there's a lot of other choices in that size in the 350-400 range.

but I stand corrected, 305/30/19 for the PS2 are 544 from tirerack.

hey genius, I don't think you can get all these for under $6,000 includes installation, balance, wheel, lugnuts and valve stem, disposal fee and California sale tax.

here is the specs:

Rear: GTS-RMC finish 19" 10.5 +18 295/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

front GTS-RMC finish 19" 9.5 +17 265/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
