Rear Tire Shortage? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

93RubyZ · 10-04-2006

I've seen some posts recently on CF of people having difficulties in locating new 315-35-17" tires. Some have said Goodyear has discontinued the GS-D3 in that size and that BFG may have as well. I've been checking Tire Rack for the past couple of months or so and they have them listed as being on back order for a while. The BFG's are listed as low stock, but those that have tried to order have been told they're aren't any. Michelin already doesn't make them and it looks like fewer and fewer companies are making this size.

Has anyone here had difficulty finding rear tires? What's going to happen if we can't get this size? Are those of us running stock size going to be forced to move up to 18" wheels?
