as a pkg deal, the price is fairly good. but if the pirellis are the only choice of tyres, then i would reconsider. are you sure they are the 7000s? because only the P-0s has 20s. in any case, do not mane to flame anyone, Pirellis are too noisy and do not last long at all,relatively speaking. just my experience.

btw, i just emailed you my add. if you prefer, let me know which shop gave you the quote using the email.

I'd second Will's experience...I don't like Pirelli's at all...

See if you can get something else...Toyo's, Nittos, Bridgestone, Michelin...

I'd take Pirelli over Nitto anyday
Nitto have to be the worst tire i've road on..
Extremely harsh ride and very hard tire
they might last forever but you sacrifice ride quality for that.

I havent had any problems with my Pirelli's
much much smoother ride
not sure about noise.. my subs are pounding as soon as i open the door

Well I would never buy 7000's again. The sidewalls on mine are cracking. I mean they're old (over 2 years) and still have some tread, but I can't believe that the sidewalls would actually crack. I happen to have the same size that you mentioned 235/40/18. I've switched to yokohama and couldn't be happier.
