Dont think i paid for as single tire in 4 years. you should hit up your local porsche dealer, they pay to dispose those so they are usually happy to give them away
Wow that's very good info! Thank you for letting me know. I will hit up the dealership today.

I'll just raise the car until it's functional. Main thing here is being funcional and not stretching 225's on here haha..with out over doing the wide tire (no mexi-poke). I think ill do a 265/35/18 ... What do you guys think? Will that still be a stretch?

Whether they fit or not in GD 265mm will be stretched on 10" rim IMHO.

Recommended wheel width for a 265/35/18 tire is 9" - 10.5" stretch will be minimal.

275 would be a better fit yes, but 265 is fine.
