I snapped these pics real quick the other day. I will get some better ones to show just how good these things look. They are WIDE! The pics dont do them justice. Oh and these are from the ebay link posted. So dont be scared. I love them already.

I just received my tires yesterday. The tires look great, has the Bfgoodrich factory sticket on them.

First thing I noticed is these tires are much wider than the Goodyear F1-GS tires that are on my car now. Given the same tire size at 275/40-17 the Bfgoodrich tires are 1" wider than the Goodyear tires.

Definitely a good buy for all the people who got in on it at $125 a tire.

I'll put up some pictures later tonight. I'll be mounting them on Monday.

Edit: Added a picture of the tires to show their condition.

Could be old rubber. When you get them look at the year/month they were made.

I bought some of the KD 275/40-17's from a local tire wholesaler last summer for $123.50/ea. It was such a great deal I bought eight of them. The only thing I noticed wrong with them was a couple of them had a greasy substance inside of them and a little on the sidewalls. I didn't look at the date codes when I got them, i'll have to do that this weekend. Nothing a few coats of tire prep can't take care of

You will need a 275 width tire if you are on the stock SS wheels.

I just looked back to see how many miles I've got on my Sumi's, and am disappointed that there's only 20000, and they're about worn out. All highway miles, with very few holeshots.

I promptly ordered a set of the BFG's.

I'll probably put 40000 miles on the car this Summer, so I'll know fairly soon if they're worth the added cost.

Has anyone compared these tires to the GSD3. If so, where. The GSD3's saved my life at 150mph on the highway. I had a blowout because I had a nail in the tire and low tire pressure, which I knew The GSD3's didn't come off the rim and I didn't even notice a difference until I slowed to about 70mph. However, my funds are tighter than they used to be.

I did some research. This tire has excellent dry traction. Better than the GSD3's. The main issue is that they seem to suck with wet conditions. If you're buying this for you're weekend warrior, this deal can't be beat. If this is a daily driver, pay a few more bucks and keep your car out of the ditch.
