Nice! Now we need a report on how sticky...

Tire Rack, is the source for Rival and Rival S.

Tire Rack is A source... not the source... and they aren't even the best priced source. ;)

My Rival "S" 315s & 335s will arrive tomorrow on the White Truck. I have a brand new set of Forgelines ready to be mounted up.

How long did it take? I need some. How long do you think the wait is?

Thanks

I talked to my sources at BFG and here is my report (in my words, not an official statement from anyone).
1. Rivals are in production RIGHT NOW!
2. Due to commitments the smaller sizes are the most popular and therefore the first out the door.
3. Tire Rack, is the source for Rival and Rival S. By contract, the first people that ordered will be the first people to get tires. So if you are waiting to order until you see others are starting to get their tires, you are already late and will be behind those that order today or are waiting.

Last but most important, and this is strictly Bill Howell's thoughts:
If you have kids or have raised kids, you know that every Christmas there is the next KOOL Toy that everyone wants and no one has enough of them. I know you know what I am talking about, you know, stand in line at 6AM to get the voucher to buy that one elusive present. Yeah, been there done that myself.
Anyway, the new Rival S is that new toy for us grown kids. Being such, and being fresh production, and being produced now in a totally different location, and other factors just simply have production behind. The tires are coming, and coming as fast as they can possibly get them through the chain, but it is what it is.
If I was to guess a time, everyone would be mad if I missed the date. All I know is tires are being made even today and as soon as possible they will be shipped, first ordered get first tires.

I know this isn't the answer some want, I know that my charger has slick Rivals on it now, I know the new Rival S are worth the wait and I know there are much more important things in my life than when I will be mounting the new tires, I hope the same it true for each one of you. Kiss your kids, hug your wife, enjoy your life and when the new Rival S arrives, life will be perfect.

how long did it take to ship Bill?

I was able to get a pair of 245/45-18 & 335/30-18 Rival S's about 4 weeks ago from Phils Tire Service in NY.
According to Phil (a BFG race tire dealer), Tire Rack USED to have an exclusive on the Rivals. This year, availability was added to BFG RACE tire dealers as well.

He had them in stock, and with free freight to boot.

Exactly, Tire Rack is not the only source. I also got my Rival "S" 315s & 335s tires from Phil's and my order was shipped out the same day. My tires will arrive today according to the Fed Ex Tracking System. Kim at Phil's Tire Service was very helpful and a delight to do business with. Phil's will definitely have my future business.
