Do what I did - go work for the Sears Auto Center, special order a set of 4, and just throw them in the back of your dads truck when no-one is looking. MUCH cheaper than the Tire Rack!!

are you really set on those tires? cause i own those and some nexen n3000's and i would personally choose the nexens anyday, better ride, better for wet conditions and seemed stickier in dry, and you can probably pick up a set of 4 for 250 shipped, i could possibly snap some pics of the sidewall and tred if youd like

cheapest place I found for the KDW's is Tirerack. I ended up going to a shop and getting them for $600 balanced and mounted.

ive only put about 500 on them, and thats going to be it cause i no longer drive the balt, so i need to make a for sale thread. but in the rain i never felt any hydro plaining, and they stuck to the ground better. oh and the reason there so cheap is because there not a real big tire in the us but they are top notch in korea

I had my KDWs at 90 mph, in driving rain, i couldn't even feel the water. I also couldn't see very far through the rain, but the tires are awesome in the rain. Just wondering.

Keep in mind that Hyundai and Kia are also top notch cars in Korea. Usually these kind of tires offer great performance, but the wear is not up to par with the other competitors.

Look at the general exclaims UHP's on tire rack. Thats the cheapest place I found. There are rated very high! I got the 225/40/18 and I'm very happy with them. But if your stuck on the G-force tire rack tends to be the cheapest place for most tires.
