Default For the BFG KDW2 lovers.... some good news

They've came out with a 315/30/18 tire. I'm definately gonna try and get these for my rear's 18x10 soon.

Also they came out with a 335/30/18

they're basically the only 315/30/18 tire out there now besides the Michelin PS2 which cost an arm and a leg. It's about damn time. I'm looking to get these for sure. They don't have them listen on Tirerack.com yet, nor Onlinetires.com, nor Tirediscountdirect.com.

they do have the 335/30/18 on Tirerack going for 284 a tire if I remember correctly and the 295/35/18 is at 229. I'm guessing the 315/30 will be somewhere around 260.

Yes, sorry 'bout that.

Anyways, it is funny cause I was just commenting to a friend yesterday that I wanted some 315's back there.

Probably not, they are too wide. 265/35/18 would be the widest I would want up there.

18x9 is what I have in the rear right now. I guess I might need to change wheels again.

You might be able to squeeze a 275 up there for the rear.

If I had 18x9's all around I would go with 275/35 all around, if I had 18x9 up front only then I would say 265/35/18.

'Bout to go out and get some news on the 315/30 and see what they're gonna run.

So it's gonna be hard as hell to find the 315/30/18's. Tirerack.com won't have them till August. I've checked with some guys I know at two different tire places and they said good luck finding them. One tried to get them for his RX7 with no luck.

Just be patient for them.

Looks like I'm sticking with 295/35/18, but even these are backordered till June 20th on Tirerack.

damn even the 295's are backordered till then? How in the hell can BFG not keep up with demand? They will loose out on sales I would image since I dont think I can hold out until the end of June but I will sure try.

I don't know how they're losing sales for as fast I they can make them they're being sold.

That was on tirerack.com I saw that date.

Onlinetires.com has them listed and a very similar price, not sure on the order status.
