Well I said cheapest of the cheap. But I suppose you are right I didn't ask them what tires they could get. I just asked them what tires they had that were the cheapest. And for some odd reason they asked me what type of car I had. I don't see the reason for asking what type of car unless the type of car you have jacks up the price. I am going to call tomorrow and see what happens. You guys have vouched for this place so I haven't given up on them yet. But for the moment 570+ seems high to me. And I know it does to ya'll too.

The reason they ask what car the tires are going on so that they can recommend other sizes that will fit your wheels that might be end up being cheaper. For example, factory spec might be 255/40/18, but 265/35/18 might be end up being cheaper even though it's wider because it's a more common size. They don't do it to jack up the price; they've always been consistent with the pricing whenever I've gone to there.

People recommended Tire Central and K&E
both gave me a very good price, compared to all the big companies
I went to K&E because their price beat Tire central for me. (cheapest tires they had)
+1 K&E, got Lexani LX-Seven 225/40/18 for $350, I heard a lot of good things from Tire Central from my friends, check with both.

No one has cheaper prices for 19" budget tires and Honda sized Falken Azenis
