Order the tire online/call DTD, www.Tires.com, and they'll ship them to you. Ends up be cheaper for me cause the local shop wanted $805 unmounted or balance. Mounting & balancing for 18" wheels from my local Discount Tire is $25/tire. I'm getting the M&B for $9.50/tire on base (Active Duty Air Force here).

Through AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Services). Think the the Coast Gaurd/Navy has something simular NES (Navy Exchange Services). Ask your recuiter about it.

Well I should have them on, on Friday. Perfect timing considering I'm going to go get my baseline dyno runs in on Saturday.

Just checked the tracking and they "should" be deleivered tomorrow. Also have a buddy that has a friend at my local Discount Tire that will mount and balance them for $8/tire.

KDW-2 & KDW NT = Same tire with same tread. the "2" stand for 2nd gen and the "NT" stands for New Tread but same tire & tread. lol

heh, they are alittle loud, but you'll LOVE them in the wet stuff! (and the dry when you get them warmed up). I have 10K on mine. Not sure I'll get them again (noise), but they have yet to let me down. Of course, they also look pretty wicked.
