Rear Tire Shortage?

[carnold]

Does anyone have 2 new rear 35 series goodyears or know where I can buy them or has anyone figured out if Goodyear has definitely stopped production?

Here is another possibility I've thought of: The Nitto NT555R. These are available new and are not very expensive (relatively speaking). Has anyone used these? I think the tread life is less, but that's not as big of a consideration for me. I'd put the same type on the fronts. Would these work OK for regular street driving (in dry weather)? Has anyone used these tires?

When I bought my car this year, it had almost new GS-D3 315/35-17s on the rear. My car had the original fronts though and it took me some time to find matching GS-D3 275/40-17 fronts. I wondered too if Goodyear makes them in batches. I was finally able to get them from a local Goodyear distributor.

Peter,
you wil not be satisfied with 335 dimension , your Z wil be more slowly , you
will directly feel all holes on the road and you cant reach top speed anymore......I change them back with 315 before I need to do this (tyres still have 5mm).Here in EU we have another road conditions like in States

Well, I finally found some. Tire Rack had the BFGs listed as "low supply" so I took a chance at ordering and when I submitted the order it then indicated "in stock." I got a call from Tire Rack today explaining that their Reno warehouse didn't have one of them so they were going to ship a set from Louisiana and that it would only take one additional day. With the weather situation, I suspect it may be more than that, but that is fine with me. I got a follow-up e-mail today indicated they were shipped out today.

Edit: They've arrived (GSC vs. BFG KD):
