I have a 96 ssei with 18 inch custom wheels on it running 245/45 tires. Im showing threads on 2 or 3 of them and am about to get new ones...so far the best deal I have found is a Riken ZR for about $540 for a set of 4. Any other tire suggestions for around this ammount of money?

Have you checked at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels

Discount Tires, Wheels & ATV | Treadepot.com

Way better deals than Tire Rack any day of the week.

I checked both of those...nothing caught my eye for the price. Im thinking it may be my best bet to stick with a local shop

Unless your local shop sells used tires, I doubt they will be cheaper.

they are not cheaper, but by the time I pay for mount and balance and everything its less than 20 dollars difference per tire

did you try tires-easy.com they have really good prices and shipping is reasonable

I called a local shop and went ahead and had them order two of the Riken Raptor ZRs. $266 for the pair mount balance and everything. Ill post more after I try them out for a while

Man I'm glad I have access to a shop where I can mount and balance tires myself. Tire shops are a ripoff.

It'* a bit late for someone looking "right now" but TireRack gives you the option to be sent email alerts for closeouts and odd lot tires. I got 4) 18/245/50'* gForce'* @ $68 a piece and 2) same size Blizzaks for $106. Nice service. RockAuto has the same service for parts that fit your car. All the places mention have different brands for better prices at different times. It really pays to shop them all and compare before deciding.
