Do they have to be OEM size? I'm using Kumho Ecsta AST 225/45/17 and they're great

My brother has Nexen N3000 on his 05 TL, previous owner put them on. Pretty sticky tires and good in rain. I have been told that the other Nexen tires such as the N7000 are not as good for performance.

Wow, really? How quicky? My brother doesn't drive too much on a daily basis so they barely have wear on them. Since I drive 50 miles a day now, thats important info to know since I am due for new tires.

Is this site for real??? Even with shipping and tax I can still get a nice set of rims and tires for under a grand! Anybody deal with them before? How is the service?

Good post man!

You might want to look at Hankook. I had them on my last car, performed well, good looking tire and I think they were around $68 each on tirerack or discount tire.
