Default BFG KD "Blems" Question

There is an outfit selling BFG KD "Blems" for a good price. Details say they are cosmetic blemishes only with full warranty. Anyone familiar with cosmetic blems?

Pics look like the blem is just a little extra rubber that would wear off quickly/??

Here is the link. I bought a set today, they have about 5 sets left.

I would not be afraid of blems. I used to run them all the time.

Me too. In my younger days I would always buy blems. They were cosmetic and never affected performance of the tire. I haven't heard of anyone selling blems in years.

So after you get yours send us the link or info. I might be interested.

Got my tires tonight from FedEx. They look GREAT Blemish is truly cosmetic. Can't wait to get them mounted to the OZ Racing wheels I just picked up and do a little quality improvement with the clutch as my major tool

How do these compare to

Goodyear GS d3's or those cheap ones

Sumitomo HTRZ

I had decided on the GS D3's and was going to order them after Christmas but now these prices have me thinking.
