Tire prices depend on the size of the tire. Any specific tire has a range of prices depending upon the size purchased. IE 15" rims are cheaper to buy tires for than 18" rims, even with the same width and overall diameter. |

if you're looking for all-season performance check out the Falken ZE-512s. they grip pretty good, and are reasonably priced.

the wheels you were looking at are ONLY for dry weather
it is a known fact that they are pretty terrible in anything else. if you are getting summer tires, i'd say stick with the 711's but be careful on rainy days. -------------------- |

Im paranoid of spinning out in water. I've done it a few times and was looking for the best wet traction.
