I purposely put 17's on my van for the look. (Vain, I know.)

The tires, they RETAIL for $240/ea... I paid $150 for all four, with 9/32. (I don't shop retail often, it's part of my economically-brained life.)

That's actually cheaper than the 14" tires I needed for my van to begin with, which are about 40 each, cheapest I've found, and 60 each for ones I'd actually use.
