Default Ordered Tires Today!

Went to the tire store today and placed the order for the BFG g-Force KDW tires. We will be running the 285/30/20 out back and the 245/35/20 up front. Tires should be in next week or so.

Boy o Boy are these freakin tires Expensive!!! I will not be doing any burn outs with them that is for certain.


O yeah and the car goes in for window tint on Friday.

I will post pictures for sure. The tires should be in next week sometime.
And they are more than my 35" Mud Terrains On my truck! And i got a somewhat good deal. So i was talking with the tire place and he tells me that with high end tires like this there really is not much room to drop the price because they do not sell enough of them. The real deals are on the tires that most every other car uses.

I am hoping to install at least the rear Eibach Springs tonight to at least lower the rer. Then once i save some money again i will buy the Tokico D-Specs and then do the front. These tires cleaned me out.

Just had 4 Pilot Sport PS2 (2x 255/40/18 and 2x 295/35/18) delivered along with 18" DD Black Bullets that are getting balanced and mounted today. You think those BFG's are expensive...

It's a damn shame I have to wait till July to drive the damned thing!

That is about what the 245's run but the 285's are over 300 each. Also that link you posted is for the regular KDW I went with the KDW2 i guess they are calling it now. Here is a link to them
