Those look like they will be excellent in the rain and snow. Good price as well

I dunno about the snow, not really a winter tire. The reviews of them in the rain and dry though are excellent

Was the price low because they have been sitting in the warehouse for a few years? I know someone was very dissapointed to learn that a new set of tires he was going to purchase had been on the shelf for at least a year...

According to the date code these tires are only 6 months old. I've heard rumors that they have been discontinued but haven't seen anything from Bridgestone on that. Some say only certain sizes were discontinued while others say the entire line has.

good tires, i had them on my supra and they were good in the rain. I tried buying a set for my mustang a couple years ago but the guy couldn't find them in 275/35/18's...

why the 45 profile?

Why not? It's the stock tire size.
