I bought a set of F1 Goodyear run flats for the back of my leased '04 Xfire to use up the meat left on the front, they were 285/35's and they filled out the fender wells real nice, looked better than the 255's. I had not decided if I was going to buy the car or not at the end of the lease. Then I bought an SRT6 and thought since I had to put new tires on the car before I turned it in I was going to get some use out of the new one's. So I only put a few thousand miles on them, I kept them in case I wanted to buy a set of rear rims to put them on to take the SRT6 to the strip and not wear out my PS2's. I think I paid $280 for the pair off of e-bay, I would highly recommend the F1's, I thought they held the road great.
