Default BFG KDW 335/30/18 Not available

Just heard that BFG has ZERO in Stock and has NO intention of making any for the next 6-12 months.

thought a bunch of guys were just out at Fontana testing the NEW Sport Comp 2' then the BFG rep at RTTC said they weren't even goint to produce the large sizes anyway???? so how do you test a tire that they don't make.

Should make for interesting conversation if you were sponsored by BFG and are now running something else.

Good way to push up the Michelin PS2's

Michelin owns BFG so...

They were only testing small tires.

Mary Pozzi had a stock pile last I heard. You might check with her.

Nittos are good, the NT05 i have used and they were good, not as good as the Kuhmo 615 I have now. The invos are a good street tire but limited sizes, and short sidewall in the 345 only available in 19 and have no wide 18

I guess that could explain why I'm waiting for four of them from the Dallas Ft. Worth GG show last year... A phone call or email would have been nice. I guess I could call them but then I might have to pick something else...

And yeah - then new GG prizes specify Sport Comp 2s...

That is not what I wanted to hear (provided I am lucky enough to win another in the future), but thanks for the answer

Funny... I wondering if anyone that has one this year even has a car with a wheel package that Sport Comp 2s would fit on?
