Re: Rear Tire Shortage?
I just put Sumitomo's on, $450 for all four including shipping from Tire Rack. Had them do a 4 wheel alignment. All 4 were out of spec. WOW, drives like a different car now.

Tirerack shows they are still available (315 F1 GS D3) but they are out of stock, expected 11/27.

Never seen them either. Interesting tread. I prefer the tread on the BFG's but thats just me. |

However if those ride and grip well along with having a decent tread life I would give them a shot. I just don't plan on being the first one to test them out. |
