Default BFG T/A KDW...not available anywhere!

I'd like to purchase a set of 4 of these tires (P275/40R17), but all of the online tire stores I've found do not have them and say they are on back order. Does anyone know of a retailer that might have them? One of my original Eagle F1's developed a large leak at a crack near the sidewall. Tires needed ASAP!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if you don't care about spending a little bit more than go with the Goodyear GS-D3s. They are suppose to be a great tire.

on backorder there as well.

I was looking at these but decided to get some Firestone Wide Ovals from tirerack instead. Those are similar.

Ran into the same problem this week and also went with the Firehawk Wide Ovals, they are close enough.

Thanks for trying to help everyone, but tirerack says 8-10 weeks due to manufacturer backorder and discount tire says probably 4-6 weeks. I had always planned on replacing the Eagle F1's with these when the time came, but I didn't expect that for awhile. I need to decide tonight so I can get them this week and get the car back on the road for a car show this weekend. I might just buy a pair of F1's for now...others have about 50% tread left.

Thanks again!
