Give Mags a call and he'll sort you out a set of 452's as recommended above.

Alternatively.... consider a second second set of wheels in maybe 18" or 17" sizes. Might work out cheaper in the long run and I'm sure the car will handle better.

An RE-070 will cost that much...

No savings to be made for quality tyres.

It depends exactly what size. You can get a common 235/35 19 under 120 (http://www.tyresearcher.com/Cheapest...yre-price.html) but if you're using a more obscure size it might sting.
