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

yeah i won a set of sport comp 2s from texas gg, but then realized they dont make sizes big enough for my car. I figured they would come out with bigger sizes but sounds like maybe not.

Blake, maybe this is a stupid question similar to asking what kind of gas mileage an LS7 gets, but what is the lifespan on the 615s (Falkens - yeah?)? I was browsing tires the other day and noticed they now had 315/30/18s. I've never run their tires because I couldn't get a matched set before, but I've heard good things about them, and I can't decide if I want to just replace my rear PS2s or live dangerously and buy a set of Falkens, so long as they last as long or longer than the NT05s

Matt - I've seen first-hand what you can do to a perfectly good (kinda) set of PS2's "Replace your PS2's"
