BFG KM2's backordered? Again?
Split a sidewall on my 35x12.50-15 on the CORE Tour, and a full month later Sams is still telling me they can't get one, and don't know when they might. Manager "guessed" it could be 2-3 MONTHS.
I've found a few online, but if I have to buy yet another tire out of pocket to keep from running a mismatched spare until friggin easter, I'll be very disappointed. 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 don't think I'll buy another set of BFG's, and will discourage others from it as well... Thanks for the vent. Robert

That is how I ended up with KM2. I ordered some new MTR about 2 years ago only to bring my Jeep in on the scheduled delivery day to find out it would be another 2-3 months.

You would think going into winter(off-season) and year end ,the tire inventories will be refilled.
With this economy ,who knows...:confused: Nick WHO-DEY

I tried to order a set a year ago. I was told they would be in in a few days. After about 3 weeks I cancelled my order.

That sucks Rob, I was told when i orderd my tires last year that the big tires cost so much to make they only run them when there is a large enough demand in the pipeline. i had to wait 3 weeks for my tires at that time. they should have a system to allow a replacement to be sourced from any inventory. maybe you should call a Bf customer service line see if they can get you a tire;
1-877-788-8899 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (M-F) 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Sat.) (Eastern Time)
