The 20's were $500 each on tire rack too; pass on that too since I doubt I'd get 60k out of them like my truck tires.


That poor rotor.

I saw a Nissan Titan yesterday with 30's on it. It was on the back of a flatbed tow truck.

Whats the price on the 19" tires. The more common sizes are normally priced better. Maybe 22" are taking away the sales from the 20" tires.

The 19's are only $270 to $320. Aside from the extra 1" diameter, the tires were extremely different sizes:

255/50/19 (less rigid of a ride, and less concern of pothole damage) vs.
315/35/20 (just a LOT of tire for a kid-haulder )

The 20's came with much more interesting wheels, but not nice enough to justify the added cost.

315's ????

What kind of SUV was this, a Porsche Cayenne or something?

That's a big step up from 255's. I assume those rims are a couple inches wider than the standard ones?

X5, but yeah, the 315's were part of the M sport package. The wheels were much nicer, but not exactly the kind of tire I need on an SUV. Save that stuff for the performance vehicles and let the SUV be just that... with a nicer ride and tires with a better treadwear rating.
