Default Good close out tires on tire rack?

I found these for $190/tire on TireRack.com. Does anyone have experience with them?

Check your PM's.

AND a 45K mile warranty! On the tires-not the brake parts!

Read the tires warranty fine print and exclusion clause carefully. Then tell me what tire company will give you a 45,000 mile warranty when their tires are mounted on a staggered mounted vehicle and also different inch wheels front and back to prevent you from scheduled rotating. You will be lucky if you can get a tire company to honor half that advertised mileage. Good Luck....Squirrel Crusher

Being able to rotate tires only side-to-side on the Crossfire is why I try to stay away from directional tire designs. I prefer asymmetrical tread designs which allows me to swap sides.

But the advertised price on the BFG's is a good one.

Later,

Later,
I rotate my directional ties twice a year, free on front $20 for back. Front free since I bought those tires from them, tire barn terra haute indiana.
Just unmount and remount and rebalance to other side, and what was the inside is now on the outside. But if you swap your asymmetric tires just side to side without unmountung, them you still have the inside of the tire on the inside. With our camber I like the flip.

Found BFG KDW's for $145 elsewhere so I may get those. I have them on my car now though and they're pretty loud.
