The 20's were $500 each on tire rack too; pass on that too since I doubt I'd get 60k out of them like my truck tires.

I saw a Nissan Titan yesterday with 30's on it. It was on the back of a flatbed tow truck.

I would have gone with 30" rear and 22" fronts...That way I could watch the road thru the sun roof!

Would I do it? No. Not 30" on that car or any car for that matter. A truck would be a different story.

Whats the price on the 19" tires. The more common sizes are normally priced better. Maybe 22" are taking away the sales from the 20" tires.

The 19's are only $270 to $320. Aside from the extra 1" diameter, the tires were extremely different sizes:

255/50/19 (less rigid of a ride, and less concern of pothole damage) vs.
315/35/20 (just a LOT of tire for a kid-haulder )

The 20's came with much more interesting wheels, but not nice enough to justify the added cost.

Why the fuck should tires like that cost more? There's less fucking rubber, more rim. Shit's almost down to a pinstripe anymore when viewed from the side. These motherfuckers are saving rubber...why the upcharge?

Stupidity tax?

Different/new molds, and construction etc etc. Just cause there is less there, doesn't make it cheaper. Kinda like buying your woman lingere.
