Having serious issues sourcing tires. Running 335/30s and 275/35s. Michelin doesnt make that size any more and Perreli are all on BO. What are you Series 1 guys running now?

I am still running the Goodyears but they are becoming hard to find these days as well.

If they actually said it then it must be discontinued. It shows up on their website right now and I have them on my car. But I did buy mine about 3 years ago.

Slim picking at this time. I have Toyo's on the shelbys I bought from viper107 and love them. I tried to order another set for my 18x10/18x12 fikses but no dice. Discount actually called me after I ordered and said they can't get anything in a 335/30 18 (and then cancelled my order). They said toyo has no estimated production date, a statement verified by tirerack. I've got a set of continentals on order for tire rack as of now. They are supposed to ship next week.

Damn. Some dismal news even for 18? wheels in our sizes. I switched to 18? due to the small selection of choices and now it seems the be the same with plus 1 application. [emoji22]

So, it looks like the BFG is on BO (rears) as are the Toyo 888's. They are still making them but DCT doesn't have a date they will be available. I can get the Pirelli's in about a week but the fronts will be P Zero Assymetrico's and the rear will be P Zero's. The tread pattern is the same but the ASM have a little stiffer outside wall if I'm understanding correctly. I never mix tires but this may work if the tread pattern is the same.
Thinking about ordering the Continental Extreme Contact but it's a summer tire and I don't want to think about the temp outside if I want to drive my car.
Still looking...

I ordered a set of Fiske's in shelby sizes months ago and have had the same problem with tires. I have 888s on my shelby wheels, but the 335 is just unattainable right now. I ordered the Continental's from Tire Rack a few weeks ago and received them Monday. They had originally said they wouldn't ship until January; I was pleasantly surprised!
Nearly every tire in these sizes is a summer or race tire.

UPDATE: I went ahead with the Toyo 888s as nothing else was available. OMG, these are the stickiest tires I have ever owned. They have outrageous cornering capability. Beyond what I am willing to test on the street at this stage of my life. With a tread rating of 100 I don't expect them to last long but the second I put them on all my vibration issues went away so I really don't care. Now, I can start looking for a more permanent solution in more of a HP touring tire.

I do not know if better or worse 8 months later. I changed to 18s with hopes of better options, but now it seems more options for the 17s. I ended up just going with Nitto NT555G2 front (275/35) and NT555RII rear (335/30). Others were either back ordered or ridiculous cost (Pirellis and mismatch) or wait for shipping by surface mail with TireRack for Continental. I ordered through Jegs with Racer Discount and $100 savings with special and free shipping $1,190.
