I am SO glad my BMW didn't have the Staggered wheel package. The tires for that are 235 50 18 and rears are 255 45 18. The equivalent Michelins for my car would be $1000 (plus shipping and installation, etc.) They do look cool, but that's a lot of dough for shoes for an old car.

I also believe the Bridgestones were directional.
