For those of you who like them (I do, except they are rock hard and NOISY), Costco Canada has supply of 215/50ZR16 g-Force KDW.
They are $235CAD a piece, a little pricey I think.
KDWS are $206 ea, fine except Jim Johnson's un-recommendation makes me hesitate.

Costco in Cali can order them for $159 a piece. A little too much IHMO.

SAY WHAT? I tried Costco last spring and they fed me the line that they do not deal in high end tires like the KDW. I bought mine and they cost me over $1000 CAN installed. Bah.

Most of the Costco stores I've been to have a tire department that can special order Bridgestone/Firestone, BFG and Michelin high end tires for decent prices (better than retail, not as good as TireRack).
This still means Michelins are outrageously priced.

well i work at costco. i got a quote for the kdw's at 149.99/tire. not a bad price considering that includes all the mounting/balanceing, valve stems, and removal tax. it also includes life time balancing, rotation, flat fix, and road hazzard. most of costco's tires are a good deal compared to most retail places. but you can always find cheaper.

k, i called several local (Toronto) Costco Tire departments. They claimed not to be able to access KDW g-force in SVT or any size. Can you recommend which stores are able to sell this tire? Also, i thought that BFGoodrich wasn't manufacturing in our OEM size any more. Have they restarted production?
thx
