I know that's the online price, I was just wondering if there were any deals or specials going on... that's all. Now the debate of getting the 295s or go up to a 305 and have my wheels widened from 9.5" to 10.5".... decisions decisions.

10-4. Not really expecting to see anything on R888's anytime soon, but surveying the landscape it looks like we are priced very competitively on them. Let me know if I can answer any questions on the 295's vs 305's! Thanks

Well, specifically, will a 295/30/19 fit on a 9.5" wheel ok? I am currently running Michelin Pilot sport tires that are 275/30/19 and the tire looks a little undersized for the wheel, not a lot, about 0.25" - 0.5" pulled in on each side. I love the look of the 19"s, but traction is limited these days, so I'm looking for something that will hook better.

Mileage isn't a concern for me considering I put less than a 1,000 miles a year on my car. So even at a 5,000 miles lifespan, I'm perfectly fine with low tire wear.

Looks like Toyo specifies a minimum rim width of 10 inches for the 295/30R19. It would likely "Work" on your 9.5" rim, but is not recommended.

Who can I call and talk to at Tread Depot? Right now I picked up a set of 19x11" wide rear wheels and want to run a 305/30/19 and am going back and forth between a set of Nitto Invo's and a Toyo R888. I'm low mileage, <1000 miles a year, and don't drive the car in the cold, so cold traction or mileage isn't a concern. I'm looking for the best traction tire.
