Idk, but I've had these for 7 months now. 285 front/305 rears and they still look new. I do a lot of spirited driving too everyday! Good luck, these are def the best bang for buck tires and hope they are available whenever it's time for me to replace again

I received this email from tirerack today.

"I wanted to give you a update on your order. The tires are backorder again without an ETA, it will be at least 8 to 10 weeks before we might have them. This is the best estimate that the manufacture can give us right now. Would you like to keep them on order? Sorry for the inconvenience."

So 2-3 more months for an update on the 305. I wonder if they're just end up discontinuing that size..

That's sucks, seems like the demand is there because of the size, price point and good reviews. You would think that they would be pumping them out like crazy! Wonder what's the hold up

Might be quality control issues... they just can't get them to come out right in that size ????

They are no longer shown in the tire rack or discount tire web page. Too bad we don't have many choices on our stock wheel sizes.

Got a call from Tire rack last week, BFG is changing the tire to a y rating, that's the cause of the delay, supposed to be manufactured in OCT.

Glad I got mine but a bit upset about changing the tire to a Y rating.

Why would you be upset? It's an all season tire... rated at 186mph ... Sounds pretty ****ing bad ass to me


When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities.

I've had mine up to 156mph GPS rated, in Mexico. Stuck like glue.

Took mine to Gingerman Raceway last week, made me feel like Superman!! I got them very hot because of no cool down time between 4 and 5th session. Had a little push because I was pushing them hard, still out performed my best expectations. BFG representative was on hand. She checked them after 1st and 2nd run and said the wear pattern was great no issues. I asked about the 305's. she said it was an odd size and the production run is short. Need the molds to make more popular tires.
