190-200 bucks for a 235/18 does not seem bargain to me

To make that sound real inexpensive, I was just quoted for the Michelin PS2's @ 235/35/19 for $1815.00 out the door. That's $453.75.

Default Where from? Tire rack they're 297 each

Even after you factor shipping and mounting it's still quite a bit less.

Default Maybe not budget compared to Nitto or Kumho or store brands, but as a real tire you actually

want on your car, I think they are a good deal. The others exist just to keep your rims off the pavement, and not much more;-) Then there are the premium brands like Michelin, etc. Yes, you do gain something in performance with them, but at what price, and how often do you get to use that extra performance?

For me Toyos are a nice middle ground.
