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.

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.

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?

I got my 275's for the front and I gave up on the 335's and switched to 315's that are in stock. Should have them next week.

A week short of 8 months finally have them

Tire Rack is showing less than 5 on hand right now, better order soon if you've been planning on buying a set!

That, and they are out of 295s now
