I'm sure that every brand has their great and okay lines.

What's your price budget?

maybe get some run flats? Stiffer sidewall will help cushion the potholes. It will be a harsher ride but at least the sidewalls will be stronger so you don't dent your wheels.

Budget near $2000 for wheels and tires... MRR HR2s in 19 is $1220 shipped to me... so maybe 800 max for the set so $200 each tire. do they run that expensive? crap haha i'm a first timer...

looking at staggered setup, 8.5 in the front 9.5 in the rear.

My boss tells me to get 18s, he's running 19s with sidewalled tires and he had to change them three times already this year. its NYC, what can you do?

If i get 18s, that'll leave me with $1000 to spend on tires. and $1000 better last me at least a year or 2! hehe
