I was hoping they would be a little cheaper than that. Oh well.
I'm thinking about upgrading and might consider selling my set.

something else to consider

since you want the tire contact patch to match the weight distribution of the car and in general fieros are 45/55

if you have 205's on front you want 245's in back

if you up to 225's on front then you need 275's in the rear

the close they are together the less turn in the front will have or the more tail happy it will be (depending on sway bar and camber settings)

Closer tire sizes will yield stronger turn in, but make the car tail happy.

if you suspension is setup that way - otherwise it'll result in plowing front end and a stable tail
