Exactly why I went to Tirerack - the BFG KM2 is the most kickarse mud terrain tyre going, and there was a six month wait for 17" ones when I needed them. No way I was waiting that long to pay 25% more!

I gave my local tyre guy the chance to price-match as he had mentioned a contact in Canada, and if it had been close his mate would have got the deal - but the difference was too much to ignore. Local tyre guy gets all my other business though.
