Estimated delivery date: 6/15/12. Only seven months after I ordered one, but at least it does appear they're gonna make some...

That's crazy(seven months)...They should be ashamed..

Nick

WrenchMonkey 05-21-2012 07:21 PM

And now they moved it back another eleven days, to the 26th...

****'s gettin old...

WrenchMonkey 06-07-2012 09:54 PM

Pushed back again. July 17th.

Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this?

Short of buying a set of Goodyears out of pocket?

Coppertop 06-10-2012 03:26 PM

Man o Man ,What a Epic run around...I would'nt buy goodyears.

I did discover that the KM2s are apparently available now, from Summit Racing. They're $40 a pop more than I paid for em, plus $65 shipping and tax, but if I can get sams to refund me on the two split ones, I could have two new ones for $150 out of pocket...

What am I gonna do? I can't strangle the BFG dork through the phone, and if I punch the guy at Sams, I'll get arrested, kicked out, AND I'll have no tires. :(

Robert

Coppertop 06-10-2012 04:13 PM

I just checked tire rack they are still showing on back order.

How's tire rack's price compare to summit?
Nick

WrenchMonkey 06-10-2012 06:36 PM

I think Sams was $202, TireRack is $218, Summit is $240.

Robert

WrenchMonkey 06-14-2012 06:58 PM

Summit Racing showed them available to ship today.

So I went to Sam's, raised a stink, and demanded my money back.

They screwed me on the pro-rate, but gave me $380 or so.

Just went to order from Summit, and it gives me this:

I assume just the 35-15 KM2, but it sure doesn't matter to me, I'll never buy another BFG of any model, any size.

I paid almost $1000 for four matching tires, just over a year ago. I only got six month's use out of two of them. And now I've got $375 and two tires I can't trust on the trail, and I can't even buy matches for.

Piss on em.

"SAMS" That right there is the issue..... If it aint on the shelf you'll never get any..... they are just cool like that! :rolleyes:

Go to Tire Discounters, and buy the insurance, they will replace NO questions asked! Well worth the investment.

humpy 06-14-2012 09:37 PM

National tire and wheel has em in stock I'm pretty sure... Buddy o mine ordered 4 a month or so ago

Yep, I cut a tire on 2 consecutive weekends and that ended using radial mud tires for me!

Went to beadlocks and Swamper "SX's" in 36x12.50 15 Bias for offroad and never looked back. I run BFG AT's in 35" for the street, cause thay are an awesome snow tire on the road.

It stings trashing $500 or $600 in tires in two weeks! I feel your pain brother!

NKYJEEPSTER 06-15-2012 12:42 PM

How bad are the cuts, ever thought about having them vulcanized to use on the trails? I know a guy that can do it locally for you, just a thought.

Can your guy do the sidewall right below the tread if the cut is 1/2 long?

I gotta disagree. Sam's has always special ordered stuff for me, and always had it in 3-4 days. If, y'know, it exists...

They won't -can't- replace em if the replacement tires just aren't available.

Besides, Sam's charged me $201ea, plus $9 for mounting, lifetime balance and road hazard. $210 total, $840/four.

TD wants $254, plus $25 install, plus $29 road hazard. $308 and $1232 total...

It was an option, but (1) I need a streetable tire, this is my daily driver, (2) I knew I'd have to return the split ones to get my replacements, and (3) I wasn't about to take another BFG out into the woods! :rolleyes:

yellowjacket 06-15-2012 04:17 PM

BFG quit returning my emails.

Sam's gave me $375 for the two split tires.

I'll buy something else, and then try to sell my mismatched BFG's for as much as I can...

Coppertop 06-17-2012 11:48 AM

Very disappointing the way BFG treated you.

I may be interested in the bfgs when you sell them wouldn't hurt to have some extras just in case i do the same thing to mine

NKYJEEPSTER 06-17-2012 03:04 PM
