345/30/19 - $340 per tire
345/25/20 - $630 per tire

Good lord. This makes no since at all :/ I can't believe the lesser rubber can nearly double in price. Any body have any reasoning behind this?

Supply and demand. And that has always been true with tires, that larger sizes are more expensive (larger rim). A 15" tire is dirt cheap compared to an 18, compared to a 20. Look at 22+ tires, they get crazy expensive.

Supply/demand is certainly understandable, but nearly doubling the price for one size up is highway robery. I can see $150 more per tire, but $300 more? Give me a break! I knew selling the 18/19 setup for 19/20 was going to be a mistake. 1" is not worth this. I was after some Toyo T1R's at $322 each..but they are all back ordered now.

Yes 20/19 is a mistake. If I ever to finally make a switch from stock it will be 18" all around and squared up.

If you have less than half the demand then it makes sense for it to be double the cost. You say supply/demand is understandable but you're not understanding If they have to setup a full second set of moulds and stop the production line of a more popular size to run the less popular size, they ahve to make up the lost productivity in price, or worse if they ahve a second production line it's even more expensive and so on... more expensive shipping costs etc

I'll clarify. Supply/demand is understandable to an extent..but good grief. I know I'm just another opinion amount millions/billions of others, so I won't waste any more of my breath.

I paid $1274 a little more than a year ago for all 4 Invos when I got my wheels...345/25/20 and 285/30/19...That was from Tirebuyer.com...

It looks like it'd be $1132 for just the rears on their site now. You got an excellent deal. I actually refused to give up and ended up ordering a pair of Michelin PS2 tires brand new for $640 today from eBay. Considering that's what one costs any where else, I'm pretty happy.

I think they know they have us over a barrel (for now). Ridiculous that the HP Michelin is actually cheaper than the Invos.

This is the main reason why I am rooting for GM to sell a LOT of those fugly C7 Z's; they use the same sizes as we need, and one would assume other manufacturers will start making non-RF HP rubber in those sizes soon.

See C7 tires sizes, and then realize that they are having to put and investment in to make more tires, stock are low prices are high, bad time to buy tires. So supply and demand 101, high demand, low supply higher prices..

Suck it up.
