    Mine were $589 shipped for 4.

    I requested BFG carcasses, and my second choice was Nitto's. They also had Michelin and Yokohama carcasses available. I don't know if this is what they had right now or that's all they carry.

    We'll see what shows up?

    Did you take the instructions with you?!?!? It says no more than 8 ounces and if more is needed rotate tire on the rim. If that doesn't work call treadwright they usually send a replacement..
