BFG Rival availability

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.

Glad I went with PS2's on mine!

OK why would anyone care? I could be mistaken but thought i read they literally fall apart....

Have you seen one fall apart??

I have a very low tolerance for interweb bovine fecal regurgitation.

General internet chatter is one thing but I give more credence to this site and fellow members.

Cool, read my post in this thread. https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...t=46576&page=2

I am glad they replaced that tire for him, but those front tires were abused and under inflated......and still didn't fall apart.

Having installed the Rival 275s that shipped in May, I was in the midst of gathering setup/calibration information and I wanted to get the rears for a true pic of the tires capability on all four corners.

Going with the PS2 would have been additional cost and time although I hear they are very good.

I think BFGs Supply Chain Management has not caught up to its marketing as why else would there be a 7-8 month wait and perhaps more for a tire they marketed to great expense to target the autocross guys and our segment of the hobby?

Purported Interweb bovine fecal regurgitation aside, if I am the customer/horse and you lead me to water, don't have me wait 7 + months to drink the koolaid.

Donny, nice work on Richs' 69 BTW I've seen it a bunch.

By the time I get these 335s some of the builds on this forum may actually get done lol.

Thanks!

The BS comment wasn't really directed at anybody......just putting it out there.

I am not happy with BFG either. The backorder on the 335 is beyond stupid. You finally deliver a pretty decent autocross/trackday tire and then fail to stock the widest size?

While I am at it. If a tire company wants to sponsor an autocross by giving away tires to the winner, shouldn't said company give away the best autocross tire in their lineup. WTF do autocrossers do with Radial T/As?
