I spent about 10 weeks at hill going thru FTD on the F16 Engine, Hydraulics, and maybe electrical or airframe. Ahhh, but that was only 25 years ago, no wonder I can't remember :)

Last time I saw any was on ebay, somebody had pairs of the "mistake" tires. Perfectly good tires, except the lettering for mounting "this side in" is on the wrong side. I ran a pair and they were fine, just had to get the shop to mount by tread pattern rather than the "this side in" lettering. I got another pair from the latest seller for use next go-round on the wife's car then I reckon I'll have to find something else.

When buying KDWS (or any tire), be sure to check the BORN DATE or age of the tire on date of manufacture. Surprisingly, tires can be a year or three old-- before you get them, With only a suggested 6 year shelf life from date of manufacture.

Ask me how I know.
I bought four, and the rear two were 2 years old. I only found out after they were mounted. I've punished them appropriately ever since doing smokey burnouts whenever possible ( as they will age out before they wear out), so I can then install the new Michilin or NITTOs when they come.
