What tires cost $1300 each on a street car? TireRack.com says the OEM tires cost $844 for a set, excluding mounting and balancing. Hell, my Supra's tires run about $860 for a set. Seriously, I'd like to know what tires are costing that much. Did that price include new rims as well?

Looking at DiscountTireDirect's website if the lady had 21" rims she could spend $500 per tire, but that's just absurd.
