Probably no one, do a search as some people are having the same issue and in some cases stores are telling people it could be September before they get any more.

I bought mine back in March (I think) and I recall the salesperson telling me that I bought one of 18 sets left in the country at the time. That was for 315/35/17.

One of the sponsors screwed me up on this, so I'm searching for them again.
Who has them in stock?

Probably noone. Seems like there is always a damn shortage on 315/35/17 tires. Im currently on some 315 nittos, but waiting on some 315 bfgs .

are you dead set on the bfs? the m/t and hoosiers both are much better and wear the same if not better. ive run the hoosiers and think they are hands down the best dr's on the market

M/Ts are off stock also, but Hoosier don't have any real tread
If I can't find decent DR soon, I think I'll just buy pair of Sumitomos...

BFG's are relatively cheap. about the same as 315 Nittos... i've had both brands of DR's and the BFG's hook much better in copmarison to the Nittos. plus nittos run sorta skinnier.

I also read that Nittos are crap that's why I'm not spending money on them - either MT/BFGs, or cheap crap like Sumitomos

nittos are really worth a damn. they are only goo when you dd a car and have to drive them in the rain. ive been caught in the rain with the hoosiers and they arent that bad until you hit 45mph

I had the same problem and went with the hoosier dr in 315/35/17 and they do hook a little better than my bfgs i had but the handle is just horrible. The sidewalls are way to soft for me. i dont even like driving on them on the street, so i would not recommend them

I can't find any DR's in this size anywhere. I would prefer MT but would be happy with BFG at the moment. Any sponsors have them in stock?
