Inexpensive tires for Saleen Replicas

265/35-18 and 295/35-18

Cheapest I've found is about 160 and 170, respectively. I think they're sumitomos.

Anyone able to recommend a source and/or brand?

When I priced out tires for my 18x9's, I think Falkens ended up being one of the cheapest.....but they were no where near $160-$170 a tire. I'd jump on it if I were you!

did you find that the falken tires run a little more narrow then most?
265x35 and 255x35x18's run super tight on real Saleen wheels ( 18x9's) I do know that. They give the no sidewall apereance, and expose the wheel to curb damage. These were the Falken Ziex? 512 I believe. So if your running saleen replicas or the real deal.. Ide recomend a tire larger then the 265x35 or 255x35 (Falken tires that is)
