Default New Tires

So i went to Big 10 tires got an estimate on some new rubber.. i was like O.O when i saw the price. G-Force Sport 275/40zr17 gonna cost me 146$ a pop then the disposal tax. then the labor cost of 140.00. and i knew i needed an aliment which is 70$ so the Grand total is 804.92 =-(... are there any other tire that cheaper?

Big tires are expensive. you could look at Sumitomo's they are amazingy cheap and ride really smooth, BUT they are tractionless wonders.

When I got my 17x9 '03 cobras all around with Khumo 245/45/17's, the grand total of rims, tires, mounting balancing, and all the other goodies in the price was about $1,180

But I think all the tires were about $400

the only place it Could possibly rub would be in the inner fenderwell liner at full lock, But you can fix that with a heat gun.

275 max up front, 265 is perfect. rear takes a 315 stock, 335 with a little help.
