Yes, brand new from tirerack.com. Both of the tires shipped to my door was $248.00 and I paid $40 to have them mounted and balanced. So $288.00 total.

You turbo or what???? You prolly just made your self slower due to the added weight if your NA lol...And you affected your handling due to sidewall flex

No, not turbo. Who cares if it's slower? I wouldn't really consider the SC300 a FAST car anyway. It looks awesome though. Plus the tires were cheaper than smaller ones.

Well, that's my wife's Cougar. And we hit a huge dog a couple of weekends ago on the highway in the pouring rain. HEAVY pouring rain. Just waiting on insurance to send the check. It'll be fixed soon. I had no choice but to hit the dog unfortunately. If I had slammed on brakes and locked up the wheels, we probably still would've hit the dog and possibly got hit in the back/side/front from cars that were around us or spun off the side of the road into trees. The most logical thing to do was to take my chances hitting the dog head on. We were very upset about it but there was nothing I could do. RIP dog.

The only thing is that with a 9.5" wheel the difference in contact patch between a 275 and a 315 is minimal. Definite cool factor though

It can fit, Just ask yourself if your offset is correct. You probably need to have a +40 or above

theres plenty fast Sc300s out there. IF you think it looks cool, awsome! Usually whatever you like on your own car is what matters, prersonally not a fan of Raked look, sunken wheels and tires that buldge like baloons.

Tires look meaty- it will decrease your gas mileage, handling, and speed...but it looks good-
