How stupid can I be???

Jeez, I can't believe I'm even going to tell you guys about this one. Remember all the incessant bitching I did over the 235/35/19 TOYOs that I have on the front of my car? Well.....I took some more pics today of the car to enter into the 350zmotoring Best Wheels Contest. As I was cropping and resizing the picture of the front left wheel I noticed something peculiar. Now everyone knows that the main problems I've been having come from the front right tire (vibration from hell) and that the front left has been perfectly fine and I couldn't figure out why. Well now I know....the f***ing tire is a 245/35/19!!!!!!!! I never noticed....none of the numerous tire shops noticed.....I could have had this f***ing thing fixed by now!!!! Anyway, I got a new 245 in the mail right now.....and $212 bucks later.....Jeez they aren't cheap. Like I asked earlier....how stupid am I? Here's the pic that I was looking at.

Who did you get the tires from in the first place? I'd guess that it was their fault for screwing up the order.

ouch... yeah if the tires are the same size they might run smoother.

I got them from Discount Tire in El Monte, California (no not the same Discount Tire that you see here in Vegas, they're different). They were both supposed to 235/35/19s but that's not the case, which is fine with me cuz it keeps me from having to dish out another $200 bucks for another tire. But at least now I know why the wheel/tire is doing what it has been in the past.

Got the tire installed today and it works great. The Z rides silky smooth now....except for the occasional bump in the road. Thank god that's all behind me now.
