18's are cheaper usually.

I just picked up some continental dws for about 220 a tire. They have been great so far.

Also 19's aren't readily available where I live. I usually have to wait a week because they are a special order. I haven't paid more than $350 for the rears.

Be happy you don't own a GT-R...$500+ per tire, just for the OEM replacement ones.
