This should be in the suspension/wheels/tires section.
Check out Toyo T1-s prices here: http://www.ec-securehost.com/OnlineT...Toyo_T1-S.html

Your tire shop is offering you good prices for those tires, but I would pick up a set of Toyo T1-S -- about $800 from the site adamc linked to. Otherwise go with either the S-03s or the PS2s.

My first choice would be the S03's, That's what's on my car now. My next set will be the Toyo's as per Rynberg's post. If you have a Costco nearby check there prices on the S03's. They rock. I paid $727.40 tax & all. Size was 245/45/16.

That's why I recommended the Toyo T1-S. Cheapest does not mean the best value.
I guess you shouldn't have bought 18-inch wheels then.....Sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way it is.

I had a set of ES100s and they DO suck. Even when warmed up, they're slicker than fresh dogshit.
Lots of people buy them because their tread pattern looks "cool" (
) and they're cheap. As far as performance goes, they're mediocre at best.
