I got some 17x11 Chrome SS wheels, and I was gonna buy tires today from Discount Tire Direct, and it turns out that the BFG G-Force KD in a 315/35/17 which I want, are only available in the left side, they don't have any right sides, and neither does BFG themselves. I was told it could be a month until they have right side tires, what crap.

Tire Rack says they have right hand tires, but no lefts, so I may have to fork out an extra $50 to buy one tire from Tire Rack when I can get them for $50 cheaper through Discount.

Ugh, just frustrated, sorry for venting!

Anyone out there have hook-ups where they can get a 315/35/17 BFG KD for $259 a tire?

Good luck. I've been hearing about the right rear 315 shortage since May. I found mine at www.voodooperformance.com

He happened to have a set that someone ordered for a Vette GS last year and the guy never came back for them. I got lucky.

Good luck is right. I don't even have 315's and when I got mine I had to wait a couple of months.

Well I finally got them ordered. I had to get one, the left side, from Discount Tire Direct and the right side from Tire Rack. Which with me going to Tire Rack, it cost me $50 more than Discount Tire Direct. Oh well, now all I have to do is wait a week for the tires to get here and then enjoy! I'll be sure to take and post pics with them on, I can't wait.

Don't forget to get your free G-Tech Pro from BFG for buying a set of tires. I don't know if the offer is still valid. I bought mine before they started it. I wonder if they'll give me one if I can provide them with a receipt.

I just checked the Tirerack site. You have to buy them there. Bummer. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/promo.html
