Thread: 15" tires in stock

  1. #1

    15" tires in stock

    Taking a road trip next week, including a track day.

    I just found out I need a NEW right front tire. It won't be safe. Well, if I am going to replace the right front, I have to replace the left front.

    Well, if I am going to replace the 2 fronts. the 2 rears I might as well replace.

    Tirerack is out of stock on the BF Goodrich G Force.

    Anyone know of a dealer, with tires IN STOCK in the So Cal area?

    205 x 55 15
    225 x 50 15

    Should I just go to 16's?

    Ray,

    Call me on Monday. I know where to get those sizes locally ... I just ordered them a week ago because the BFGs are out of stock EVERYWHERE. They are on hold for me at the tire shop.

    Are you implying that I'm not a professional, Harvey?

    Also, please note that my post included the useful information regarding tires available in Southern California, per the request of the original poster.

    Thank you for the clarification; much can be lost via internet communication.

    I apologize for my defensiveness...

    Thanks for the help and tips guys...

    Marco, Tony called me about the tires. Hold onto them, they will be needed sooner than later. I went with Toyo Proxes 4. Good price, good rep AND in stock. I had them mounted at a tire place in Corona del Mar on Saturday.

    Lesson learned, 15" tires are getting REALLY hard to find. Don't wait to have tires put on. Do your homework well in advance. Next time, I will be purchasing 17" rims and tires
