Default KDW2 - where to buy?

Just ordered my 18" chrome bullits... now I need some rubber. After researching I believe BFG KDW2 is my choice. Can anyone recommend a reliable and inexpensive vendor to buy them from? I want 255/45/18 for the fronts and 285/40/18 for the backs.

Thanks!

I got mine from Tirerack.com. They were the cheapest I found and their customer service was fantastic!

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Tire Rack as well but wanted to cover all bases before I ordered. I haven't even found them in many other places...

I always source out a few local (in the city local),tire shops.I have them compete with one another for my business,The worst they can say is they can't compete with Tirerack.Last year I went to get some 19" wheels and rubber for my BMW.The most reasonable price in town came from the business who tinted my windows.Go Figure.(I didn't even know they could order that...let alone beat TireRack by $500.00 for the set).There is a large markup and if you don't mind going to 4 or 5 places,you'll get the lowest price.

Tire Rack has a special on them right now for about $86 each as I recall.

Good luck.

Tire Rack does have them on special but not in the size I need.

You will be REAL happy with the KDW2's. At 28 psi I am pulling 1.68 and 1.69 60 foot times and the handle great on the street too.

Larmo, i'm the same exact situation you are in. I have the 18x10 and 18x9 Bullitts sitting at home right now. You are buying the exact same tires as me and most likely I will be going with tirerack. I have not found any other place to be as cheap as them, it's just $800 is a lot to be spending...
