still hard to find tires for SE/Limited?

[maverick22]

I had seen in some of my research (I guess I've finally narrowed it down to 2011/12) that it's hard to find tires for the SE/Limited. Is that still an issue? I think I was looking at the 2008s a few months ago.

I love the way the 19" wheels look on the SE/Limited, but I don't know if I want them if they're hard to find or outrageously expensive. Does one (base vs. SE/Limited) provide a smoother ride than the other due to the tires?

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

The SE has 17" wheels, the Limited has 19". You can get an idea for yourself by going to a site like TireRack.com and searching for OEM-sized tires for the SE and Limited. You will quickly see that while there are now 7 tire choices for the Limited (19") and 58 tire choices for the SE (17").
