Default BFG Drag Radials

Anyone know where I can find some 315/30/R18 that are not on backorder until next year??? Or does anyone have an idea of when Mickey Thompson will re-release their 18's? My Nittos are DONE!

Thanks,

Kevin

*edit* sorry mispelled BFG

I've tried those BGF drag radials but I like the BFG drag radials much more.

Just kidding ...you can try The Tire Rack:

Tire Rack is on backorder till the 20th of January I believe is what I was told. I was thinking maybe I would have luck with some of the smaller companies.

Just found out from Jared at Lethal that they are on National Backorder. He told me he had MT's in stock for my size. But I was under the impression that MT's had a problem and were pulled from the line. Can anyone tell me more about this? Or am I safe getting them?

Where did you hear about the MT's? I actually had an order for some BFG's placed through Tire Rack, but found out it would be a long wait so I cancelled it. I was also going to look into some MT's.

I heard it through the distributor I get them through. If anyone has any in stock though, I'd grab them. I doubt the problem is with any of the ones that have been distributed. Kevin, if you find any, you can always have them shipped to me, and I'll get them over to you. Bob

yes i talked to a tech at mickey thompson direct, he said they were pulled because the test pairs had bad problems and he wouldn't tell me what it was, only it would be a long time before they were available. after i bought my bfgs i saw them available. at hpsales and a few people had them on the forum
