Did you look into the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars? They have been pretty darn on the cheap side. Plus $50 rebate until April 5th

 

you can also try http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.dothey have everything

 

never mind they dont have toyo i thought the did but they do have alot of nice tires and good prices i got nittos from them all 4 for 500 bucks

 

I got my GY Eagles for $168/ea shipped.

 

Thanks for the tip on the Goodyear Supercar. Prices are under $200 for the 285/40/18. However, the reviews are not too good and I suspect they are clearance/discontinued. Not too crazy about the look:


If I don't go with the Toyo package, I'll buy the tires from local Town Fair store. They will match any internet price, mount, balance, align for free, and they carry the Goodyear F1-GS. Problem is, Goodyear doesn't have the 285/40/18. [&:]

 

You could get Nitto 555 285/40/18 and they are $191 @ Discounttiredirect.com I believe..

 

Be careful there are different Eagle F-1 tires. Get these 18" GY Eagle F1 GS-D http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Eagle+F1+GS-D3

 

They arent discontinued, trust me.
They are the Tire that is OE on the GT500
I wanted to go with the F1 GS D3's again myself, (wore my old ones out already)
But as you mentioned, they do not come in 285/40. Boo to you Goodyear!

The damn GS D3's just cost so much
And I get them at cost.
The D3 is better in the rain, and quieter, but other than that they feel the same in performance.

Supercar bill, and larger rear tires.

 

Yup, that's the one.

Love this tire, but they don't have a 285/40/18.[&o]

The Nitto 555 have the right sizes, but Nitto is not a brand that Town Fair offers.

They do have BF Goodrich, but I don't like the tread pattern. I had no idea I was this high maintenance.

I think I may go with the Toyo T1R with the rim package. They have a decent ride and handling rating, and since I've put 12,500 miles on my car since 2005, these should last me 3 years. [&:]

 

Whatever you choose let us know, and throw up some pictures when you get them!
