Sweet wheels DTPstyle!
I had 1/6 evos in 18" before. I just wish they made it in staggered size for 18s.

You mind posting the SIZE of the wheel you have? That may help you get a suggestion.

he means the size or width of the rim. like 10 inches or what

edit: nm cmw. he just wants to know the price for THOSE sizes so it really doesn't matter what size his rims width are.

Try Tirerack.com they have all the prices for each tires they sell.
Look for Kumo tires there, they are very cheap with ok quality too. Nitto tires have good prices as well.

Generally their price do reflect their qulity so I try to stay away from the cheap stuff and look into quality tires like Michelin pilots, Dunlop sp 9000, and Good Year Eagle F1.

Many people praise Bridgestone S0-3s but I find it not so well behaved in the rain and some minor defects that could lead to problems later on. But S0-3s do handle very well in the dry and the prices are ok too.

DTP,

I went back and looked for the wheel size...but I guess we are making assumptions these are 20" rims? I am not sure that those width/aspect tracks are avail in other size rims, but boy would it help if you stated the wheel size. Forgive me, my long range esp is on the fritz... must have been a gm product.

thanks for the info Kaban. I have michelin pilots right now. Those are expensive tires and I am trying to pay less for others of the same size.

My rims are 19".
