BFG KDW 335/30/18 Not available

[Blake Foster]

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

[Vegas69]

What a loss.:lol:

[ironworks]

Michelin owns BFG so...

They were only testing small tires.

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

[Blake Foster]

Oh i don't use them, i'm just saying.

you think MAry will be hording her's???

[Rick D]

Discount tire has a few in stock, but that's just checking on line. I think I'm going to run the Nittos??? Any thoughts??

[Blake Foster]

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 :lol:

i could call michelin tomorrow and check to see how many they have. Im a area sales manager for national tire and battery and usually houston has what i need

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

Gregg, I feel a little pathetic saying this, but wearing your car's tires down to chords might just be my crowning achievement behind the wheel. Now I can say that I can drive the wheels, err tires off a car, I know at least one person will believe me :lol:

What about the Nitto 555R? Discount has those in the 335/30/18

I got more miles out of the Falkens than the NT05's not alot more but more I think I got 1200 miles from the Nt05 and I am at 1800 miles on the Falkens, keep in mind that is all track time but about 300 miles. they have one more event in them and then time to replace.

That's a drag radial you know.

Kevin, just curious, but did BF Goodrich change the certificate they give out to GG autox winners? Does it only allow you to redeem a set of Sport Comp 2s? Last year the certificate I won allowed me to pick almost any tire except for R1s and a few specialty tires provided they were 18's or smaller, and even then the number of tires I could actually use was pretty limited.

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...

[AutoX_a_Truck?]

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?

[ProPont]

I had a pair on order at The Tire Rack, they called me and said they were in and wanted to make sure I still wanted them. I heard that they were replaced with a new style so I asked Tire Rack if they were just like the old style tread pattern. And the sale rep said they are the new style ones. So if your looking for the original tread pattern KDW 2. Please ask before you order.

I have 2pr. of the 335/30/18's KDW2's if anybody is interested.
