Tirerack.com $600 will almost get you new wheels and tires, if you shop a bit.

Othewise, Discount Tire is good.

You going run-flats again? If so, the new Continental SSR are pretty good for RFs.

Tire size has a huge influence on price and availability. I don't think there are any 15" runflats.

I vote for Discount Tire...love, love, love the guys at 104th & Colorado. I take Lil' Valentino there every 3000 miles. They will match prices too.

I vote for Discount Tire. Great guys and they stayed open late one night to fix my flat even though I didn't buy the tires there and they didn't charge me anything. They'll be getting my business when I have to replace mine.

So Jeremy what are you wanting to put on Precious?

I have a set of rims and newish Goodyear GS-D3 tires non-runflat I could let go real low. size 205/50/16

Tuner lugs & 16 inch wheels, good for twisties and summer usage.

i haven't put a ton of thought into it. i have a road trip coming up in june, and i need to replace at the bare minimum the back tires before then, and the front tires soon after if not at the same time, but this sounds good send me an email w/ what you're thinking and we can talk
