Default Luke @ DTD is a cool dude.

Just got done ordering a set of 275/40/17's from luke at DTD. BFG G-force Sports. Luke gave me a damn good price, and was cool to talk to. All the local places wanted more for shitty Kumho's or Falkens
Gonna put them on my new '02 WS6 Speedlines, then onto my '97 WS6.


Thanks Luke! Can't wait to get em!

I can't agree with you more. I ordered my rims through him. I will definitely be back.

Looking at these tires and DTD myself. When you say damn good price, did he cut you an extra slick deal for being a board member or were you looking at the $130 they list on the site (which is still decent).

Yep, board guys get a little better price, even though whats on the site is nice.

Cool...is there a number you can reach him at directly? Also, sounds like you needed similar tires in a similar price range as I do. What was the deciding factor for the Sports over the others in it's class? I'm also considering the Yoko ES100.

888-796-1752 Ext.410....That's Luke.


I went with the G-Force Sport's because the reviews here and on CZ28 have been great. I noticed lots of complaints with the ES100. The other tire I was considering is the new Firestone Wide Oval, but I dont think Discount carries them.

i got the g-force's for the front and they seem to be quite nice.

Sure. What kind of wheels are you looking for? I actually only answer tech questions and give pricing here so, to actually make a purchase you would still have to call Luke. I was just giving him a hard time earlier. I would be more than happy to discuss options for your wheels and tires though.
