    I got a pair from Summit a few months ago. I was amazed at the low shipping cost - only $7.00 per tire. The local BFG store told me they would have to backorder - and charge me freight of about $20.00 per tire. I'm starting to think the BFG discontinued them. They're not listed in the catalog any more. As much as I hate it, it looks like rodders are going to have to move up to bigger wheels in order to get a decent tire.

    I agree, Zombie. They seem to be scarce.

    I was looking recently and found plenty of 16s and 17s but no 15s. I wound up getting a used set from a friend. Mine look good but I'm a little uneasy because I'm not sure how old they are.

    Good luck.

    I bought a set a year ago from NTB. If they are discontinued and new rims are required later on it's gonna get expensive.

    So many rodders run them, I'm surprised they would discontinue them. BFG usually goes out of its way to court the performance minded people. Have you checked BFG's website?
