about $74 per tire for 225/45/17 with my employee discount at america's tire. free mount and balance too cause I'd do it myself. there was one tire, I think a kumho ectas SPT or ASX, that I can get for like $54 a tire in the same size.

I thought it would be more appropriate considering the aesthetic nature of the comparisons. This was a looks/proper sizing thing, not a suspension/handling/braking issue.

I guess I should have updated this. The Nitto Invo's are INCREDIBLE. So much of an improvement over the General Exclaim UHP's. It's partly due to the extra tire width/sidewall, but the car actually handles fairly well now, and leaves a MUCH greater feeling of confidence when hitting a curve. Definitely worth the money.
