Default why is it so hard to get wheels and tires

i have a quick rant then a question......
i ordered my 17x11 ttIi's like a month ago. well finally they are in michigan but my tire company calls me and says that the 315 bfg kd's are now on b/o. well i am sick of waiting so i am going ahead and buying DR's but that still leaves the front. i am sticking with 275-40's and i want bfg's so that leaves the g-force sport and kdw any opinions on these two tires looks, handling, wear??

It is annoying. I have Sumitomos 315s on the rear because there were no BFG to be found and none in the near future. The main reason I put the BFGs on the front was so I could get matching rears. Fortunately, the Sumitomos will be worn out soon, but didn't pay much for them, so hopefully the BFG 315s will be available.

that was kinda the question i know that the bfg sport is like the bargain g-force but are they good enough for fronts?? if not the other choice is the kdw but i don't want to waste the money if they are both equal
