Default what are people paying for 20" tires?

Just curious what everyone is paying for 20" wheels. I am running 245 35 20 and 275 30 20 Toyo T1R and I paid about $1200 mounted and balanced and its now time to look for some new tires. I want something good but if I can get them for less than that it would be great.

Rich if you want something nice, and probably less expensive try the Vredestein Sessanta. We have done them on quite a few cars, with good results.

Falken fk452's are another great option, and a good value.

thanks for the info guys. how much are the Vredestein? never even heard of them. If they are inexpensive and good I am sold. I have a lot of camber wear so chances are they wont last long anyway

just checked out the prices on the Falkens and the Vredesteins, great prices on both. Now I just have to call my local tire place and hope they can get them for me. Unfortunately they wont mount tires unless you buy them from them.
