Default For the BFG KDW2 lovers.... some good news

They've came out with a 315/30/18 tire. I'm definately gonna try and get these for my rear's 18x10 soon.

Also they came out with a 335/30/18

they're basically the only 315/30/18 tire out there now besides the Michelin PS2 which cost an arm and a leg. It's about damn time. I'm looking to get these for sure. They don't have them listen on Tirerack.com yet, nor Onlinetires.com, nor Tirediscountdirect.com.

they do have the 335/30/18 on Tirerack going for 284 a tire if I remember correctly and the 295/35/18 is at 229. I'm guessing the 315/30 will be somewhere around 260.

I'm gonna go to a couple of places around me today or tomorrow and see what the deal is.

Probably not, they are too wide. 265/35/18 would be the widest I would want up there.

18x9 is what I have in the rear right now. I guess I might need to change wheels again.

You might be able to squeeze a 275 up there for the rear.

If I had 18x9's all around I would go with 275/35 all around, if I had 18x9 up front only then I would say 265/35/18.

'Bout to go out and get some news on the 315/30 and see what they're gonna run.
