There are a couple of threads in the Forum that talk about the tire. Discount Tire carries this brand. There are 3 stores in my local area and a full set for the Crossfire is nearly always kept in stock at one of them.
And as pointed out in other posts, there are quite a few websites out there that primarily sell tires & wheels. With the influx of tire producers from Asia, there are several tire brands that are low cost alternatives to the major brands. You just have to look around. If you want to help looking, let me know. Been There; Done That!
Good luck in your search.
I tried to find the post but could not. Wanted to verify the Barums (being a continental tire) can and are registered on the continental website, AND they INCLUDE some benefits that DTD (discount tire direct) charge extra for. Check out the continental website, when you register the tires there is a link (again could not find my references) that allow you to sign up for the FREE bennies that are included as a continental tire purchaser. I ordered the tires (free shipping) and had them mounted myself on the OEM rims locally. When you receive the tires, go to the continental website and search for all the 'included' perks you get when you buy a continental branded tire. BTW, they ride GREAT and are super quiet (compared to the old worn out OEM's). Great specs, and great price. LOOK for deals on the DTD website, you have to see if there are incentives, they don't tell you about them if you don't know you'll lose out on the "Visa' debit card if it is offered. Mine brought the cost of the set of tires down by quite a lot.
