No details yet. Probably going to be 9/32 from the factory, if BFG keeps them similar to the ZII target tire. Also, the prices on ZIIs dropped a good bit over the last day...depending on tire size $9-15/each....but my 245/40s are still going to be after CTD2...

All that said, I was quite impressed with my got-no-business-being-on-dry-roads-below-40degree-SSZIs last night in the snow...I didn't wreck on I95 during the mini blizzard I had to drive through (and for the record, the alternator was the problem that left me stranded on the turnpike on Sunday). So, I might just keep these old and tired tires on for CTD2...

I think I'm bringing both set of wheels to CTD2, but I fully intend on running my dunlops.

Why watch it when you can crash the taping of the live show.. and they tape it usually on Wednesdays around 2PM in Surrey at the Top Gear Track.

FinalGear ain't no joke, they have it up in about an hour after it airs. Unlike Thai when I gave him my 1080p video of my ride along at WGI weeks ago...

It doesn't appear that I can fit a 275 on a 9" wheel so as of now the rivals aren't an option for meh. However, pricing isn't all that much worse than my other options.
