This isn't a cheap suggestion I know, but have you considered going back to stock wheel sizes? It reduces the cost of tires as well as improving the ride and road noise problem. Such extreme low-profile tires always come at a cost in comfort.

Just spotted the direct phone for Damon at Tire Rack: 877-522-8473 x643

Why not ask him about wheel/tire combination prices in stock Carrera sizes? You don't need track wheels and without imposing that requirement he can probably put you on 18" or 19" wheels and tires that will pay for themselves by the next time you need tires. I know twenties are costly monsters as well as being uncomfortable. They're for show really. Even the nineteens are past optimum and primarily chosen for appearance. The eighteens have the best track performance and are the most comfortable to boot.

Just a thought,

Gary

That has been my experience. Certainly no one comes close to their level of service.

I might have to use my girl's paypal thing since I don't have one set up. I can't private message you, it wont let me. Can I contact you off of this site. Dont want to finalize everything via a message. UPS Ground might take more then a week.

I'd rather have it as soon as possible, cost is not an issue to do so. I'd like to take it off your hands before your "big day" since I am sure you both are busy dealing with that, when is the big day? I'm planning one myself we are doing a destination wedding. Ill have my girl Krysta email you since the paypal thing is under her account. How about 900 plus shipping?

Werd. I replaced the 2 rear PS2s at about 13.5K miles, $1K for both at Sam's Club.
