Its all very well to fit fancy wide rubber but yeah replacement costs can make people's eye's water.

OTOH just for the sake of real world comparison I just scored an amazing deal on a full set of new 245/35/19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's for $999 which are very highly regarded tyres. Tyre sizes / brands can make a huge difference to replacement price !!

If I was asked for $4,000 right at the minute for replacement tyres that would be bloody annoying.

Wow thats expensive considering you can buy them through tirerack.com for around $300ea. I might give them a go when my tyres need replacing.
