Default 275/40 17 KDW2 Discontinued?

I bought a pair back in November at Discount Tire and was looking to buy the other two to complete the set. I was told today they are discontinued. Is there a new replacement or can someone in the Tech community give me any leads as to where to get the pair.

I'm curious as well, wanted to put these on my new 18's and only found them in one place.

Found these on ebay if you're still looking to complete your set...

Cool man. Appreciate that I completely forgot to search ebay.
I contacted BFG directly and according to them the KDW line has been discontinued.

Did they mention if they plan on replacing them with another Hi performance tire? Damn these new muscle cars with their stock 20s

They emailed me with a list of other options they have in that size. Didn't mention if they'd replace them with another. Sucks, its a good tire in my opinion. Seems like all the good stuff gets discontinued.

AFAIK, the KDW2's have been replaced by the Sport Comp 2's, which they say is a superior tire. I've got them and they are a fairly decent tire. Never had the KDWs so I can't give you a comparison, but search away.

Sport Comps have been around for awhile. Friend of mine had them on his car back when I still had the old style KDW and they where transitioning over to the new KDW tread pattern. But yes descent tire.
