Yay I'm happy!!! I ordered a set of BFG g-Force KDW NT. OEM sizes: 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rears. $764 shipped from DTD w/ free replacement certificates. I also got the vavle stems for free. lol

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.

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.

What tires are you thinking of getting instead of the KDW?
