They're still only showing the same set of sizes they had months ago. :-(

P275/40ZR17, P315/35ZR17, P225/40ZR18, P245/40ZR18, P265/35ZR18, P275/35ZR18, P285/30ZR18

Have they announced more sizes that I've missed?

They indicated 17 sizes will be available including a 335/30-18. I presume that the specs are not updated yet.

The BFGoodrich g-Force R1 tire is available in 17 sizes, from 205/50ZR15 to 335/30ZR18 in 15, 16, 17 and 18 inch dimensions. All available in the spring of 2007.
Didn't they already miss the SCCA SoloII cut-off now?

Here are the important parts from the 2007 National Solo Rules...


13.3.B. No tire models will be approved for competition during the rest of the year after April 30 of each calendar year. Each eligible tire model must meet all requirements of Section 13.3 by April 30, and must continue to meet them thereafter. A tire model will normally be determined by the designation in the Tire Guide. However, any of the following changes or similar changes (as determined by the SEB) will also be considered to represent a new model for eligibility purposes, even if the designation does not change: change of tread pattern at either full or partial tread depth; characterization by the manufacturer or distributor of a tire as “new” after April 30.

13.3.F. Each tire model must be sold in at least four rim diameters, with a total of at least six sizes.
