Tires
 
i have recenlty bought a set of 19" chromes for my 06 mcss and did not buy tires. today i went a researched some tires for them. the lowest priced set i could get was 1200 bucks. now recently i bought tires for my gmc jimmy [everyday drive] they were only 85 bucks each.
is that not ridiculous. there goes a couple paychecks then another one for fuel at 3.65$
this thing is getin expensive. especially with my repaint project on it.

The (stock) tires for a Jimmy are not low profile. For whatever reason, tire companies charge insane amounts for low profile tires. Even though there's less rubber. Go figure.

Go to tirerack.com and check out their tires. They seem to have pretty good prices on pretty much every tire.

Low-Pros are stupid expensive; not to mention that rubber to fit a 19" rim is still not considered "standard". Anytime you put tires on a large rim it will be expensive. Shoot, my '06 Aveo LT I used to have had 185/50/15's on it stock and only two companies made tires for it. So I put 195/60/15's on it, andthey wereGoodyear Eagle LS for almost $700.

Wow, 1200 for tires, that's as much as the set of wheels and tire combo that I was looking at this past summer would have cost.

I plan on going up to 18's sometime, sure hope they don't end up costing me dearly in the end.

I'm curious as to what this repaint project of yours is, have any pictures?

What aspect ratio are you looking at, 30?

I could see why they are so much.

35's are much cheaper.

My favorite way to post pictures is to host them on imageshack.com, and then copy the direct link to image that they give you and put it inbetween image tags like so:

FALKENS are very good tires for the price.
