I just got dummied into buying four 245-45-17 Michelin XGT Z4 tires with tire protection at NTB. $1200...damn could have bought some rims with tires. I thought Michelins were a good buy from reading the forums...now I see that the new Bridgestones look good.

Thanks for the info fever,
I should have done some more research but I had 2 nails in my rear tires that they say it can't be fixed + a nail in my spare! Maybe for another G or so I could have bought some 18's. Looking at the bright side...things could have been worse.

$1200 is not too bad although you could've gotten them cheaper if you looked hard enough. i paid $850 for the same tire in 245/40/18. on the bright side, you do get a lifetime balance and rotation with the tires

0110101,
Well, the bad news is you probably ended up paying too much at NTB.
The good news is:
1. You got a good tire.
2. NTB has a price protection policy and will match (PLUS some % of the difference) the best price you can get on the same tire, even from an on-line source (NTB will figure the shipping you'd pay buying on-line into the price).
My advice is go to tire rack (www.tirerack.com) or any other source you want to get a price from, get their price in writing and present it to NTB with your NTB bill. They'll do a price match and you'll get money back.
