19" Ronjons in the mail!

So I think I lucked out and probably got one of the best deals off of ebay for a set of the 19" Ronjon Legends in Liquid Graphite for my TL. Now I need some help with tires. I think the search feature is still a little iffy so let me hear what everybody is running with for their 19's. It looks like a majority of the folks from the tires/rims gallery is using nitto's or falken's. I just upgraded my tires on my stock 17's about a year ago to the bridgestone 960's and they have been great so far. So with the 19's, I think I'm going with Max Performance Summer tires. It looks like tirerack.com is having a crazy sale on the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (129.00 each). Me thinks this is what is going to be next on the purchase list!

I got them for 860 shipped. Two were brand new and the other two had scuffs inside the lug holes. I'm assuming they were off a demo car.

I figured somebody would have outbidded me in the last second! I checked out the counter and it had about 200 views. It was like buy one get one free

I was going to buy a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 from Tirerack but they were on backorder so I went to http://www.onlinetires.com/default.a...andName=Falken and bought a set of Falken 452 for the same price as the Goodyears. I went with 235/35/19 but should have gone with 245/35 on a 8.5" wide rim. Well at least its at OE diameter and cheaper. I can't really complain.

How much did you pick up the 760s for? Great tires... everytime I walk into the tire room at work, I go over to the 760s to admire them.

I forgot to mention, the design on those look like street-drag tires. They look so damn georgous!

Up close, it feels like the tire drags you into the tread...could just be me, haha.
