634 for 17" tires?

discount tires has the 17" for 92. per tire shipped, not tax.

i hope you did not pay that much for 17's
my 19's nt555 245/35-19 cost less then that installed

These have an AA grip rating.

I coulda bought some cheapo tires for that price.

Advans, t1s, Prada spec II, or any others with the same or better grip rating will cost 150+ per tire.

And when you buy tires from: Falken, Toyo, Yokohama, etc etc. You are also paying for the name honestly.

But also everything else that comes with it.

I have the Flaken Ziex-512's on my car with Falken C-Spec rims to match.....They arent as sticky as the 451's, but they still grip WAY better than any all-season tire has the right too. Falken makes some great rubber!

just bought a set of the 45's in 245/35-19 for my 04 accord, they are a great tire....... probably more sticky then what i need....the nittos nt555 are great tires, i have used both nitto, yokohama, toyo falkens and some dunlops on my all my cars, and i would say the falkens are the best value for what most people use then for.

and when i made the comment about the 451's on discount tire, they cost 98.00 per tire shipped with no taxes.......
wasnt knocking them.
