Is this the most expensive tire?

I was browsing some tires since I am in need of a pair of 315/35/17 for my front wheels, and decided to see what the most expensive tire I could find.

I found this
P-Zero Nero
With driving force and and enjoyment, this tire works harder and plays harder.
315/25ZR22 101Y XL B
Reading the Tire Size
$574.00 ea.

Would be even worse if it wasn't on sale.

Thank goodness I have absolutely no desire to have 28" wheels on my car because apparently it would really hurt the wallet.

Yes, please share how to do this. I'd like to order another pair of 17x11 ZR1's to go up front.

Wow, that is really expensive. $4K on sale, $6800 normal + the wheels. OMG

I like the extra grip.

They are Sumitomo 315's on a 9.5" rim. they fit fine since the Sumitomo is much skinnier than a Goodyear or BFG 315. Don't know why, but the Sumi is almost 2" skinnier.

315 on the front (went auto-x'ing like this a few days before)




315 on the rear and the 275's up front (all matching wheels)

Did you have to use a spacer on the front to fit the 315s?

I use a spacer to fit the wheel since they are offset and backspaced for a 4th gen. The 315 just happened to fit in the well.
