Wanting to run BFG Rival S tires on my TA. From what I am reading availability seems to be a problem. Specifically the rear size, 335/30/18.
will be running 275/35/18's on the front. Have seen these available in small quantities.

I am running Falken 615K's on my Nova, love them but they don't offer a 335.

Thanks!

I have a pair of 275's that are new which I may be willing to part with. I'm in Austin, not that far from you... Drop me a PM if interested.

Jackson Motorsports Group had them in stock a few days ago when I called to check the availability.

The two places that most people use are Jackson Motorsports Group and Tirerack. Tirerack is the primary distributor for this tire.

Not sure primary, but most expensive for sure. Jackson Motorsports is the cheapest, and Phil's Tire Service is right behind. TR is the most expensive. ALL three are authorized resellers for the Rivals.

Thanks for the info guys! Currently Tire rack has none available.... I will check the other sources mentioned. More I can save, the more I can spend on the wheels!

just ordered my Rival S from Phil's and had to wait 3 weeks for my 315's, but price was fair and they had free shipping going on

I would be interested in the 275's if you still have them. I tried to PM you and I don't think it was going thru. PM or Email at [email protected] .Thanks

Thanks again for the input guys. I ordered 335's and 275's from Jackson Motorsports. They had them available and pricing was good. Also they only charge $10 per tire for shipping.

Glad I found this thread. BFG was useless, the guy I spoke to was worthless. He told me TR was the only source, when I tried to explain they don't have any of the sizes listed he stopped responding.

Glad the info was helpful. I received my tires 4 days after I ordered them. Pricing was competitive and shipping was way better than anyone else. Now if I could just get the wheels nailed down...��

I found great prices on tire crawler.com and simple tire.com. i bought michelin pilot super sport 255/40/18 for $161.99each. . I love jegs and usually have them do price matching because i trust them. The price was too low for jegs to match. They said they would need to take a loss. I got free shipping fro tire crawler.com and simple tire.com . They arrived quickly as well my rears were 295-35 -19.

What were the date codes on the new tires? I have found when tires are really cheaper than everyone else, it's because they are old...... Just sayin'. I hope you got a good deal, I know I am going there now to look. Thanks for the tips.

I found the 255 s were just under 2 years old and the 295s were lest that 6 months. I had the same concern. Its also inportant to consider storage and quality when it comes to age. I would say 6 years where as michelin says 10years but recommends annual inspections after 6 years. Seems most around here will use up a set of tires in a year or 2 with agressive driving. I was satisfied with my purchase
