I just ordered some Sumitomo 275/40/17 for $88 bucks apiece. They aren't the best tire in the world but pretty darn good for the price.

I wish my tires were $88 bucks. How the hell does an inch difference add $100 to a tire.

I got the sumi's in 315/35/17 for my DD in the rear and am very happy with them expecially because I only paid 110 each! woot!
Before I found the sumi's I was planing on buying the eagle f1's that were 277 each not counting s&h and i bought 2 sumi's for something like 248 shipped.
