Default BFG Rival availability

Ordered from Tirerack 275s and 335s 18's Rivals back in Dec 2013, 275s came in May but 335s still on backorder??

Is Tirerack still the exclusive vendor for Rival? Having installed my front set, waiting for the matching rears is

Anyone know whats goin on? They rolled this tire out with PT guys in mind so 335 shouldn't be an odd size to fill what gives? ok rant over for now

They should be giving you calls to update you, they have been calling me. They have been delayed until the 25th I think this time. BF keeps pushing the delivery date back. No choice but to wait if you want them.

You could have Tirerack exchange them for some Michelin PS2's which is a far superior tire overall IMO. They're in stock and ready to ship.

Tirerack calls me everytime the ship date pushes out.

I have heard everything from different compound for the 335 only, just like the kdw, to the guys in the factory don't like building 335s.

They will be here soon, they used to push the date a month at a time, now it is only a week at a time.
