Feds are hard to find, no matter where you call. I had good luck with directbuytire.com, I think I paid about $65/each for my 245's. Your best bet is going to be calling around to every place that has them. It took me 3 weeks to find a set in stock last time I purchased them.

The problem, is that they all list them "in stock" on their website, but they don't actually have them when you call.

www.citytireonline.com has them

bad mutha · 02-21-2011, 04:37 PM

i ordered two sets through directbuytire.com,205-50-17 and 245-40-18 for 800$ shipped!

If you want to pay more I believe Les Schwab has them but not at the onlinetires.com price.

I think they were about $100 +tax a tire, but that also includes mount and balance I believe...

TheSurgical · 02-21-2011, 06:11 PM

That's not bad of a price. Especially if it also includes mount and balance.

I just ordered these for my protege5. Hope I got the right size, i'm on Mazdaspeed springs and struts, with mazda3 rims, ordered 215/40/17.

poison · 02-25-2011, 07:25 PM

Picking these up tomorrow

, but probably won't have em mounted until Monday.

I can't wait, dammit, enough A/S nonsense. I'm curious to see if these suck, or are a good deal for the price.

sc00by4life · 02-25-2011, 07:33 PM

you wont be disappointed

.

poison · 02-25-2011, 07:37 PM

I really, really hope you are right. Because if they suck, I can't chuck em. I bought them from the 'shady guys', btw.

I can pick them up, so I'm not worried. I'll have my local guy install them.

everyone i've talked to have been thoroughly unimpressed with the SS595.

TheSurgical · 02-26-2011, 12:28 AM

Their no BFGoodrich KDW tires. But for the price they aren't that bad.

I was pleasently surprised. dry/wet traction better than the s.drives I had before. though my one gripe is....they have less of a tolerance for low temps.

Mmm, meaty. They sure look fresh, like they are pretty new stock. Deep ass rim protector, as well, probably the biggest I've ever seen.
