Ordered a pair of front BFG Radial T/As, backordered. Check out when they ship!!!

Actually, the local Sears said they did not carry them...

 

Well then they are stupid You may have to go look for yourself.

 

I have seen them there before, and that is why I called.

Sometimes I think the guy answering the phone would rather say "Nope, don't gots em" rather than actually do the work to see if they are on the racks or in the computer.

 

Scoop; Summit has the Radial TA's in all sizes. I use 205X60X15, and they don't touch anywhere. Handle good, too!

 

JEGS SAID they had them in catalog, but backordered for 274 years, so I just assumed Summit would do the same thing.

I should know in a couple days if Sams can actually get them locally.

 

Dang, that's my front size and brand! I've been saving up to get two new ones, looks like I've got plenty of time to save!

Here's a chart of some sizes that are about the same height Scott. You might be able to get close to the same height in another ratio, I.E. 65 vs 60. I don't think I can go much taller or mine will scrub the valance....

Edit: It didn't save what I had searched for... I think I had 195/70, 205/65, 185/70, and something else. Anyhoo, just play with the sizes to get the right height you're looking for...

 

Got email from sams...tires are in !!!

 

Well, picked them up from Sams, and took them to NTB at lunch to have them installed. By the way, NTB was almost half the price, and much less wait. Friendlier and more "mature" and knowledgable staff, for the most part.

Slapped them on and they seem to fit fine (remember, going from 215/60 to 225/60. Havent' moved the car yet, so front end is still sitting high on the suspension after being let down from jackstands.

They are a bit bigger than the 215s so I hope I don't completely lose my stance.
