It is. That's why the cost hurts more.

If you have it, go for it. Good luck.

You can always downgrade to 18's or 20's. The tires are cheaper from those wheel size. ...Well, not super cheap, but definitely a few bucks off than 19's.
And yeah, you have to obviously buy new rims as well.

cossie1600 · 03-12-2011, 01:28 AM

I have 18" rims, but it would knock me out of class and the price difference is less than $20.

Well I didn't order it today, the RE11 went up in price and they want $1380 installed and taxed. I am going to bring my business elsewhere unless they bring it back down to $1200!!!

Dude non sport package Re11's on tirerack.com are 1070+ 60 shipping and install is around 90 total 1220 your getting ripped off

Start buying Hoosier A6's, then you can complain about tire costs.

spearfish25 · 03-12-2011, 10:29 AM

Switch to sport bike racing? Then you only have to buy two tires. Medical bills may get expensive though.

That will REALLY cut down on your tire expense. Those guys go through 20+ sets of tires every weekend at $2k a pop

Start buying Avon Race slicks and understand what a real race tire costs. DOT stuff is peanuts
