Great deal on tires @ tirerack

Just an FYI, I was checking prices on tirerack today for tires. I found a GREAT deal on Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 the fronts 245/40/18 cost $172 per tire and the rears 275/35/18 for $195. Total shipped $782.16

Don't need tires yet but bought them anyways. As a comparison, 8 months ago I paid $1280 for the same deal. I really like these tires....so much better than the Contis.

Just thought I would pass it along. Cheers!

For the price...yes! Considering I only get 9-10K out of the tires the PS2s are not an option. The Goodyears are far better than the Conti (what tire isn't?) and pretty close to PS2s. The PS2s are a tad lighter thats it.

I am running Bridgestone RE050A's now after burnin up the PS2's. I am happy with them so far in the dry, I haven't driven in any rain yet...we shall see. Big ups again to the guys at CCW.

That is a great price for the Goodyears.

Are there any negatives running 275's in the rear. Do they throw off the speedometer?

A Wider tire will not change speed..Only a Different Height / Series 30/35/40 Etc or different overall Dia going Plus 1 to 19s but as long as the Overall Dia is unchanged the speedo will be ok

A 275/35 is taller than a 265/35, but not much.
