Eric, That was the tire combo I ran when I did the 9.82@139, 1.56 60'

The setup works...

Thanks for the info Shawn! And thanks for the offer of the wagon wheels, but I actually have an old set lying around.

I'd like to check out your car on Saturday just to see how the wheels/tire look.

Just got an update from BFG.

There is still no ETA on when these tires will be produced. Further the rep stated that the production schedule is prioritized based on # of orders, and that very few 295/35/18 DR's are on order, pushing the schedule out even further. He feels it will be late summer before the tires are produced. I let them know that that doesn't make good business sense, as they will lose customers as soon as the customer commits to going to a different brand. Myself included. I intend to switch over to MT 275/45/17's.

yes they don't know business, you would think if the inventory is gone you need more, and were are they taking these orders, we call everywhere to see if there in stock until we get them
