Sumitomo has tires in this size for $600 SHIPPED, but they squeal a lot and don't have the highest traction. They DO however last quite a long time.

If you want to spend a little more I really like the RE-11s that are on it now.

Thanks for the input guys! Osborn does the staggered setup make for really bad understeer?
