Default 315s??? Where are they????

Ive been looking everywhere for some decent 315s. I don't want drag radials. My car is setup for handling, and I want a tire comparible to the 315/35/17 GSD3.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know where I can get a new set of GSD3s?

Well seeing as their tread wear ratings are both 280, they are comparable. Just wish they were wider. They look as skinny as nittos!!!

I found a guy on Ebay selling 5 sets of 2 x 315/25/17 BFG KD tires about 2 months ago and got kinda lucky. He had 5 sets available when I bought mine around 10pm, and they were all gone by the time I woke up at about 6 the next morning.

His name on Ebay is jtbdj5, he has one 315/25/17 KD up now, might at least be worth watching for. They arrived about 3 days after I bought them in great shape. Hope this helps.
