Default Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 225/40/18 for $107 over at Tire Rack.
Seems like a rather good deal, considering how much the other sizes in 18s are? Just stumbled upon it in another forum, thought I would share.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2FSizes.jsp%3Fmake%3DBrid gestone%26amp%3Bmodel%3DPotenza%2520RE-01R%26amp%3BPID%3D361116%26amp%3BSID%3DFW7dlft2%26 amp%3BAID%3D10396151%26amp%3B">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp

Default I take it you have or have had them?
What sort of mileage would one expect out of them? 15-20k?

Good in the rain?

Default Danielle has them on the blue car
Not sure how long they will last, just put them on this year. Wearing pretty nicely though. Ride very nice, tons of grip and seem decent enough in the rain. I'd think 15k max for life out of them given their treadwear rating.

Their load rating is a bit low as well at 88 - but that price is great!

It looks like a misprint unless it's really half off. Steal em now.
