I bought a set only a few months ago BFG P235/60R15's...I can't believe you can't get them anymore!! Did you try summit or jegs?
 
I'd have to say BFG is cutting there own throats by doing this.Who the **** wants a Michelin tire?When I see a burmout I want to see BFG goin crazy not Michelin.This is a sad day in car history.At this point we might as well put our sh*t on blocks and protest.

I just did a little google search and the only Radial T/A from them that is dicontinued is the G-force and the Euro T/A. The T/A's we all know and love arent going anywhere. According to their website they are BFGoodrich's "anchor".

If it is true it doesnt surprise me.

17s are the new 15s and its sad because I really dont like anything bigger than 16s personally. I mean Ive seen plenty of cars that look good on bigger wheels but its not my style.

Even if its not true it will be whether its soon or not. First they got rid of everyday performance tires for 15in wheels like TA Comps. Regular TAs are next on the list and its a shame because pretty soon the only good sized radials for 15s will be repro radials of older factory tires like cokar which you have to pay out the *ss for. That or tires like mickey thompson ETs that you cant daily drive on.
 
Oh well, just get Dunlop G/T Qualifier's they come in RWL and are a much better tire anyways. I've been using them since the 80's and they handle and wear very well. I smoke them up all the time and it seems like they never wear down! I have them on my bike too with RWL they make many different sizes. I've had B.F. Goodrich before and they don't wear like these!

I honestly dont see them going anywhere, but maybe getting a little more expensive. They are one of BFG's biggest sellers and they would have to be out of their minds to discontinue them. JMO
 
I have 4 nearly new TA G-Force KDW 245-50-16ZR to put on my car but they are discontinued so I'm searching for a spare set just in case I need them...I don't know why they discontinued this line of tires... :?
 
yeah I was surprised too when two (now three) different places told me these tires ceased production indefinitely. The guy at one shop told me, after being on the phone with his distributor for 20 minutes, that it's possible the radial t/a's will come back but with the michelin name.

I hope this is just temporary. It's getting harder to get the RWL's in 15's for my 442.
 
Good Year GT II's also discontinued, not that I will miss them, but hate to see these tire sizes dissapear, means I'm getting old!! :mrgreen:
