Default 315 BFG DR's... Who's got'em?

Anyone know of an online place that has BFG Drags in 315/35/17 "in stock". All the usual sources are on backorder until August and I need some... Thanks.

Last time I checked BFG's were on nationwide back order and pretty much everyone is out. Might get lucky with a local shop that has a pair sitting around. BTW - I see you are from Edmond, love that area and used to have fun up there back in the day at lake Arbuckle during the summers.

Do you mean Arcadia Lake? Arcadia Lake is just east of Edmond, Actually about 5 minutes down the road from us and Arbuckle is south of Edmond about 1.5-2hrs down I-35.

What's the deal with these tires? I can get Hoosiers or Mickey Thompson in 315 no problem. Several places are out of the 315 Nittos too.

I couldn't find them anywhere. No Costco, not Jegs, Summit or anyone. I Talked to someone at Discount Tire and he said that Goodrich didn't even have any so I went with Nittos. Discount tire didn't even have the nitto drs. I had to go with Summit. They don't look as good because they are slightly more narrow but, oh well...

I was at discount tire today trying to find a 275/295 drag radial that wasn't Nitto. Everything is backordered for months. Might have a lead on some bfgs in ohio.

Ya, good tire. I just wanted a bit more tread. I don't have a whole lot of power so the BFG's or Nittos fit my bill. Having had Hoosier, MT's, Nitto, and BFG drag radials the BFG's were my favorite. Wonder what the deal is with them.
