To buy Tire
I need to change tire so I want to know good place to buy tire and ship to Japan. Japan is very expensive to buy tires.
I want to go this time 245/35/19 in front and 265/30/19 in rear. Would this fit?
I changed tire twice both I went with Advan Sport so I want to go something different. I was thinking like Advan Neova or Hankook V12 Evo.
Please let me know where is best to buy tire.
Thanks

Tirerack. I get all my tires from there. Great price and cheap shipping. Email clint@tirerack.com direct.
I have tried the following on my C63 (in order of rank too)
1. Bridestone RE-11 (Great grip, great feedback, low noise on wheelspin, yet to try in wet)
2. Bridgestone RE-001 (As above, Australian only model I think)
3. Dunlop Direzza Starspec Z1 (Good dry grip, low noise on wheel spin, average wet grip)
4. Continental ContiSport 5P (Not bad for first 50%, 2nd 50% sucked)
5. Yokohama Advan AD08 (Lots of noise on wheel spin, overheated on hard runs, average wet traction, got better the lower the tread)
Tire wear is not a factor in my ranking of tires, so I cannot comment on that. These are all tires I've used in 14 months...
So yeah, I suggest you get RE-11's.

Amazon has the V12's too, and they sell/ship globally for the most part...
I just checked Amazon.jp and they have the V12's.. but holy crap... converting the yen price to USD.. they were like $600 a tire!!!!!!!!!!!!
