I just got the price for those and Tire Rack will ship 4 Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 245/35/R19 for under $1500. It would cost almost $2500 in Australia before fitting :headbang2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get them under $1000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be able to separate the shipment for you. :-) Sent from my Galaxy S2 using crapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
