There comes a time, if you drive a car or ride a cycle, when sooner or later you are faced with having to replace the tires.
I am at that point of my life, again. I have a Volvo 850 that had the tires replaced sometime in the fall of 2007. Now my other car needs the tires replaced. Must have been all the burning and drifting I've been doing.
Unfortunately, these tires are costly. So, I searched various websites for the perfect match at the perfect price and I cannot help but complain. At least wonder why this car needs to have such high velocity rubber. Oh, yeah its a sports car, duh!
I could sell the car, but I really love the way it handles, and then there is the speed factor. I can talk all day about how quickly it can reach a terminal velocity and it handles curves like they were a straight away.
Anyway here is the run down of what I need; two front tires 235/35 ZR19 91Y, and two rear tires 275/30 ZR19 92W. While I enjoy becoming a savy tire buyer, I still do not understand why 30 is wider than 35 or the difference between 91Y and 92W? Does anyone know the answer?
What I have found - Falken FK 452 for $168.00 for the front and Dunlop Direzza DZ101 at $233.00. Obviously, the problem here is that the manufacturer does not match.
