I didn't know this? I did a search in your area for the g-Force T/A™ KDWS. came up with 32 dealers, might want to call around to see if they have any left

Did you try tirerack? Also, have your local places that carry BFGs check thier own wharehouses. Sometimes they still have some.

I've heard some good things about these tires, how many miles do you have? a little review on your experience?

I believe the availability problem is with the rear size OEM BFG KDWS 245/55/18 only. Still many users for the front OEM BFG KDWS 235/50/18 size. So there shouldn't be a problem with fronts.

I am still able to get both fronts and rears in my area ... at least about 6 months ago when the rears were replaced.

There are many options for your marauder. I am running Toyo proxies on the rear and they are a slick in the rain, other than no problem.

Someone stated the Coopers RS3A, others are using Nitto's

Good luck with the search.

If you still have issues PM me I am just over the Pa/NJ line and I work in CC most weekends:)

Tirerack on backorder.

Just ordered rears from here. I'm sure I'll need em. Let you know if they actually have them and are OK.

BFG only makes the rears occasionally. Once they get enough backorders, thet put them back into production. I waited 9 months once.

The Cooper RS3-A tires are all season and ride very nice & grip well. Check out the reviews here on them. I put a set on my front last week and I really like them.

[capt512]

I also put the Coopers on mine last week, haven't had them in the rain much yet, though they do seem a little easy to spin in the rain, but maybe there was just a slick spot or something. Otherwise ride comfort is good, steering is easy, they look excellent from the sidewalls, not sure about tire wear...but we shall see.

[jsignorelli]

Tire Rack had both front and rear a few months ago when I replced mine tires. They are only made once a year, so if you see them listed, buy ahead of your need.
I do hear good things about the NITTO tires. You might try that brand.

No great loss!

[screamn]

no great loss!

+1.

Nittos.......ftw

[dohc324ci]

Coopers RS3-A makes OE sizes. I am now running Nitto NT05's they GRIP really well and comfortable even when running 35 series!

[SC Cheesehead]

No great loss!

OEM tires do not wear well, and trying to find them is a PITA. Unless you're set on staying 100% OEM equipped, go with Coopers, Nittos, or other brands mentioned. All are much better tires (at least from a wear perspective) and are easier to obtain.

[FastMerc]

I will need all four before mv10,I like the side wall stiffness of BFGS but not the wear issues. I havent heard of the stiffness of the others,I dont like the sway issue.

[PolarBear]

Last month I purchased all four BFGs
from Americas Tire Company. The rear
tires were backordered, but I called Goodrich
and they shipped a set of the rears that
they had in reserve inventory to my local
Americas Tire store.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

Nope they don't have them. :mad2:They are just disorganized. Canceled the order. :shake:

[Hotrauder]

OEM BFG's are in a word, crap. No loss. Soft sidewall design cause short wear life and poor cornering stability. Lots of good choices. Nittos for me.Dennis

eh......what you putting them on---the punch is punched out!!:lol:

[Hotrauder]

Hey, Tom, sorry I forgot. The BFG tires still suck. I buy Michelin now. Dennis

Your still cool as ever!!:beer::beer:---yeah--they do SUCK! Nitto for me --round #2 here--

[dohc324ci]

Don't get stuck on BFGs much better choices from Cooper for OE sizes to Nitto, Goodyear etc in other non OE sizes. Use an online tire calc to get the 3% staggered ratio look thereare lots of combos; for my new setup I am diameter wise 1% taller in the rear; neglagable.

[Horsepower]

Came across the bf goodies. And still picked them up. Maybe I'll try a different brand next go round.

If they wear normally, that should be within 10 -12K miles...
