Default Why Are the LS403 tires so expensive

I got a quote on a 05 tire for $450 . It is the 18 inch tire that had a nail in the sidewall. What the heck!!!

Does that include the rim too???? Me thinks something doesn't sound right. Definitely hit the
Tire Rack - don't forget to ask for/speak to Brandon.

yeah 450 for a tire is very expensive. i think runflats are that expensive, but i don't think they have runflats on the ls430 right?

get it from tirerack for sure

That's got to be a quote from Lexus. Go to Tiretrack.com and research them and buy at the best price. I get mine from Discount Tires down in this part of the country. They will beat anyone around.
