335 Out of Season!?!

[greenlight]

I'm perplexed that I cannot find Bfg rivals, Michelins, etc tires for street & track - this time of year! I need a 335 30 18" to figure out fitment: Back spacing & how much to narrow rear end. I've tried tire rack, discount tire, nothing available except Pirelli Rosso Asymmetrical, I'm not familiar w/Pirellis. Any suggestion short of waiting for Spring to arrive? Thx!

Try Phil's Tire Service. They're a BFG Distributor.

Thanks nokones! Their website shows they have what I'm looking for, I'll call them tomorrow, much appreciated!

Im in the same boat right now. The only tire I can find is the Toyo R888, which is great, but I wanted to stay with a 200 TW tire.

BFG needs to step it up. Either that or Falken or Bridgestone need to make some damn 335's....

Are 315 and 335 18"s just being produced less overall? It seems like they were a lot easier to find 5 or 6 years ago. I've got 315s on 11" wide wheels, but if I ever get new wheels I'd like to run 335s.

I would say yes, and I believe that since the Viper and Vettes went to 19's and 20's in the rears that put a hurting on production demand. So now they are becoming a boutique size.

I posted this on Lat-G earlier today for a local autocross friend...

It's all about sales numbers/volume for the big tire manufacturers. 18's are so "small" in today's tire market. BFG is going to dedicate production time to tires that sell volume. Fitment for 335-18's is VERY small!
