Well I got excited for nothing. It was just the lug nuts. Wheels aren't coming for another week.

This sums it up nicely...ordered my BFG's yesterday

Hopefully will have them on in about a week.

I'm trying to order a set of these and it seems they are backordered. Anyone know where they may be in stock at?

Can't help you with the ordering, but a local dealer got mine in less than a week.

Getting them installed on Saturday....

$850 total, not too bad, it would have cost me almost that much to order them online with delivery and all....

They are out there tho...

If Tire Rack has them, then Discount Tire can order them directly from them for you.

Would you be able to pass along the name of the dealer? I'm in Ohio too (never updated my profile, still says IL), Columbus area. Perhaps I could get them from the same place if they aren't too far away.

Yeah, Tire Rack told me 60-90 days.

I chatted with a BFG rep directly and they said they have no plan to make more in the ZL1 sizes for at least 4 weeks.

They have them on eBay... Simple tire has 4 of the rears left and CarID has 14 of the fronts left now that I bought some.

I wish it would help ya, but I went to a local place with only 2 locations...up here near Cleveland. Not sure where they got em from...

Emerald Automotive FWIW

I found them on the BFG website...looked for local BFG dealers.

STUNNAH · 04-06-2017, 01:22 AM

Sam's and Sear's may be able to order them as well...

Tire rack must have intermittent outages of them. I got mine from them last week without any delay. Waiting on my tpms to come in and get them mounted on the mrr 228s. I'd say call tire rack and see whats up with their inventory.

You must have gotten some of the last ones. They called me the morning after I placed the order and told me it'd be 60-90 days.

I did a chat with a BFG rep a couple days ago. He put me on hold for a few minutes to check on when they were planning to run them. Said they are OOS and are not on the production schedule anytime in the next 4 weeks.

Seems like would want to run them to try and keep supply for the demand. Dropped my wheels and tires off yesterday with new tpms to get mounted up. I'll pick them up today and drop them off at the garage where the car is getting built.

Got the BFG's put on Saturday, couldn't be happier with the choice.

Put less than a hundred miles on them, but it feels like a whole different car.
Tore up a few highway on ramps and it felt really secure, hooks like like crazy into 2nd and 3rd gears....never had this with the Goodyears. So fun

Thanks everyone for the great info here, its always easier to make these decisions well informed
