Default Eagle F1's Too expensive, replacement help...

I was thinking about getting some chrome c6 wheels (rear 19x10, front 18x8.5) and I wanted to get Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's at 275/30/19 for the rear and 255/35/18 for the front, but at like $350 ea. for the rears thats a no go. I was wondering if you guys could reccomend some similar more affordable tires in these sizes... Note: The car is daily driven. Thanks

Maybe try Kelly Evo-z's for around $115 each. I have a set on my Camaro and like them. Seems like they have good grip and a long lasting wear rating. They're basicly a re-branded clone of the F1's.

BFG g-force KDWs are the best all-around tire I've run. I just don't know if they come in the size you need.
