Good info here at DSE...

Just ordered at set from tirerack. Stacy at DSE said Tirerack has exclusive rights to sell the tire for now.

That's cool BFG finally came out with a tire that will be competative in events they sponsor. It will be interesting to see how fast they are.

Is he connected at all to BFG? I ask because every other person I've seen who was at that event has a "relationship" with them, if you catch my drift.

Hey, I hope they are a kick ass tire. I just wouldn't run out and buy them right now.

I've had conversations with Stacy Tucker and the guys at Tirerack that have driven the tire, and they say that they are the best tire available in the 200 rating.

I really just wanted something new that worked in the typical PT sizes of 18x275 and 18x335 and these fell in my lap at the perfect time. They are gonna be great for me cause I don't know any difference! Should be a great tire to go out and learn how to Autocross this summer.

I'm sure that there will be alot of feedback in the next couple of months from those that really have experience with different tires.

Matt: Thats real good news! Tire selection for the 18"/335 w200 treadwear is fairly slim. bf kdw2s-mich ps2-pirelli, I dont think the hankooks or falkens are available in a 335/18. Im spoiled on the r888s but if I want to play at GG, I might just try these rivals.
