170 a piece for the fronts, 183 for the rears on the BFG's. We do not sell Yoko's usually. we can special order them, but i DEF do not recommend them over the KDW's. My friend with an IS300 went from the yoko's to these and it was night and day. there are many other choices too, such as the Dunlop Direzza which are 154 for the rears, and 140 for the fronts. where in Ca are you?

if you come into anyone of the locations, we will beat any advertised price. we have a new location in pasadena area and a few others too. you have to keep in mind if you go to Costco your also going to wait for a long time. choice is yours, but we will beat any price advertised. I cannot do that at this moment over the internet, but were you come down to a store, i can take care of that, only thing is i work in Hollywood off of Sunset blvd. let me know

I just got KDW2's in stock sizes. They are pretty freakin loud. However, they are on rails in the rain. I'm really happy with the grip. Funny thing is that around 40 mph, they sound like monster truck tires. Faster or slower, they arent much noiser than stock. But 40mph will drive you mad

Keep in mind, they arent a good AutoX tire. They are certianly grip enough to be a GREAT AutoX tire. However, they are prone to heat up. To the point they will wear prematurely. I have the Smartire System (measures pressure and temp on a digital display). I've watched the temps rise about 15-20 degrees on a long sweeping turn. On the interstate at 75, I've seen the temps at about 120-129F (ambient around 75F). Thats not much hotter that normal tires, but they will go up 10F if the road crowns. Kinda neat to watch. None of this is any problem at all. Just an observation.
