Fricken amazing deal. I know this is a blow out before the RE011R's come out next month, but for ~$100 that's so worth it to me as I'm not trying to win competitions.

Got my 225/45/17s!

Thanks OP for posting this up!!!

why do i not see any prices lower than $150 for 16"? even if i add it to my cart...its labeled "special" but that size has always been $150

FWIW potenza 050's are amazing! of course if you find a good price. They last me about 15K miles? 5/8 city 3/8 turns
