BFG made of gold? What is up with this price?

Found the perfect tire for my truck, 38x14.5r20, but what is up with the price 650+ and almost limited to zero quantity?

Hrmmm...


for those wondering here is a link...

Anyone think this is because it is such a weird size? I've never seen a 14.5 inch width tire before in a R20 which makes me guess maybe they had to make a one off die for this limited low run batch of tires at this size.

I picked up my toyos for 400 +/- last time I bought them. For an inch bigger another 250 bucks sounds too rich for my blood for that perfect size.

it could be that they mislabeled the KM2's for the Krawlers. the krawlers can and will be that expensive in the limited sizes they come in just like the Baja t/a's
