Split a sidewall on my 35x12.50-15 on the CORE Tour way back in November, and while sam's would be happy to replace it under road-hazard, they just couldn't get em from BFG. Four months later they still don't know when they might.

I'd found a few online, but I wasn't willing to buy a tire out of pocket to keep from running a mismatched spare...

But now I've split a second one. So much for BFG's "new n improved sidewall technology..."

So now I'm out of full-size spares. I guess my only options are to cough up $300 for yet another pos tire I can't rely on; or park the rig til BFG feels like making more, and sell the set to buy something better...

I'm sure some pointy headed accountant thought it would save them a pile of money to strip their inventories down to nil, but this is the **** that drives customers away.

I won't buy another set of BFG's, and I'll discourage others from it as well...

Thanks for the vent.
