Default What's up with 335 tires??

So, my 13Z is in need of new tires. Seems like the factory Sport cups are available and neither are the cup 2's from what a couple of Chevy dealers have said. They're telling me they are being replaced by the Pilot A/S 3 plus?? It also seems that other tire companies are having issues with keeping 335 & 345 tires in stock from other brands. Anyone else have issues with finding the rears for a Z? Checked Tire Rack and they are out also. Thx for any advise.

A/S3 are all season tires no way they are "replacing" the Cup tires. I'm sure COVID has screwed up production or raw materials. I like my Conti's but I know the rears are on BO as well. You might find some locally in a regional warehouse that supplies some other tire shops.

My car has the 19/20 inch wheel set up though, which they don't have in Toyo. May try to get the Continentals. I've heard they're pretty good

I'm looking at the Conti's. Have to see how long it takes to get them. The fronts are available, so that's a good thing

Ya, that narrows down your selection. Im pretty sure you can get the 888s in a 325 on a 20" rim

Bridgestone makes the S007a in 335/25/20. It's a great, sticky tire.
