Hello everyone,

I am a Gen2 Lightning guy myself, and am a member of SvtPerformance, Nloc.net, SoCalLoc.com, and various other boards. What brings me here is that I need to buy tires for my moms 2003 300A MM. I understand that the stock rears are on backorder until BFG makes more in the end of April. Ive searched and asked and found that I can replace those with the newer BFG KDW2's and still keep the 5% difference in front to rear if I use the 255/55/r18 rear, and the 235/50/r18 front. Well Im trying to purchase them now, and all the places Ive looked so far say they are on backorder. Do any of you know where I can get some asap? TIA, and hope to gather some more info from your site soon... Stan

Have you tried The Tire Rack. I just got 4 new KDW2's last week from them.

TireRack says out of stock and DTD does not list that rear size??

Check with the local L/M dealer. Here they match Tire Rack prices.

You're right. They showed 'em last week. Maybe someone else will chime in with a source?

The FoMoCo dealership parts counter here was able to beat Tire Rack's base price ( i.e. not including shipping co$t ) by $15 / tire; and the dealership price included 2day delivery of tires, mounting, balancing, and taxes.

Ok my local Americas Tire was able to find a set of the rears and can have them to me on Thursday :D . Thanks for the help guys :banana: , and I will let you know how they turn out and give a review of my own after I get them on... Stan
