Default Who sells BFGoodrich 265/50/15's ???

I've searched high & low for this particular tire online and I can find it ANYWHERE!!! I can get the 295/50/15's for the rear no problem, but nobody sells it in the 265 width. (And yes, I've Googled it)

Thanks

You might have to go with a 60 serie for the front.

it may not be available anymore in that size. Selection of 15" tires is getting to be severely limited anymore because of the greatly reduced demand for that diameter size, particularly in a higher performance tire.

The 265's are 25.4 in. tall
The 295's are 26.6 in. tall

I'm in Canada and had no problem getting mine from the BFG dealer, maybe you can order them.

I guess that's a matter of opinion isn't it?!

I'm afraid I have to strongly disagree with you though,.....especially after studying this picture and realizing there's NO OTHER combination I'd rather have.

you might have to go to Canada eh to get them - they dont even list that size as being available on the bf goodrich web site. The BFG help line is 877-788 8899.

Do they have to be BFG's? The reason I ask is because onlinetires.com list Hankooks (which are a good tire - i had a set on my IROC) for $73 a piece in that size and coopers for $83 ea.
