Tire Emergency

I have been looking at the Bridgestone Turanza LS-V's after being blown away at the cost of the Pilot Sport A/S's. I attempted to order the Turanza's yesterday, but they are on a national backorder. I really wanted the Turanzas but theres not much I can do. Is there any other tire I can look at? I need these tires installed by July 1st.

thanks!

I just installed the Falken 512 on my 02 GLE and they seem to ride pretty good and be a quieter tire. There is still some rode noise but I think that is just the way the car is designed, I went from a 215-55-17 to a 225-50-17 to get a better selection of tire for the money that is and so far seem to be happy with the choice.

Costco's been telling me "2 more weeks" on the LS-V's for the past 3.5 months. I was looking for a 235/50-17 for my GLE, but there's not much of a choice there either (the Turanza LS-Z is way overpriced at $214+... almost as much as the Sport A/S!!). The Falken Ze-512's have gotten good ratings and fit a 225/50-17. They'll be going on this week, so hopefully I'll have the same impressions as 02GLEMax.
