Default Vredestein Tires

I need a little help. I am running on borrowed time on my back tires. They are Vredisteins with about 55,000 miles on them. Yup they are almost bald but believe it or not the fronts have at least another 10 - 15,000 miles left on em. I bought them 4 years ago and don't remember who I bought them from, I do remember I got the name from the forum though. Anyone with an idea where I can order 2 - 295 x 18 I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

At 4 years and 55k miles, you should really consider changing the entire set, front and back, so you have a matching set. If not, you can definitely expect some additional understeer by running fresh rears and worn out fronts.
