Anybody know where I can source a similar tire. Apparently BFGoodrich is not making these anymore.

There are a few 295/50R15 tires (e.g. BF Goodrich Radial T/A, Cooper Cobra), the Mickey Thomson Sportsman S/R (26X12.00R15LT, 28X12.00R15LT) but, if you don't want to downsize and want to stay with 15" rims, all I could find were these two: 1) Nitto - NT555R - 325/50R15; and 2) Mickey Thompson - ET Street Radial - P325/50R15. Obviously both will be wider and slightly taller.

I have 295's on the back of my Arntz and they look fine with 12" wide rims.

I have 305/50R15 euro's also and I am having an extreem hard time finding the 295/50-15's. Coker Tire said they had serveral on back order and that is what I am hearing a lot. One tire supplier called Goodrich and they were told 60-90 days before production would start on the 295's. Anyone have any other info?

I have Dunlop G/T Qualifiers in 295/50/15 on front and 265/50/15 on the front. I think Discount Tire and Sam's Club sells them.

Joyridin': How do you like the Dunlops? I've used Qualifiers on my bike and really liked them- nice 'n grippy but don't last long.

They seem to be alright. They have a treadwear rating of 400 if I recall, so they are probably pretty hard. I have had T/A's in the past and the Dunlops are a lot better than those.

I have Dunlops on my bike also. Those tires work great.

Looks like the G/T Qualifiers have gone the way of the 305 T/As. Not available at Discount Tire or Sams Club. Dunlop not showing anything 295 wide for 15" rims. Too bad as I kinda liked the continuity thing from bike to car. Looks like 295s from either Cooper, Mickey Thompson, BFG or Hankook. Clearance issue with the 325s. Can't believe I just got the car and I'm down-sizing already.

I've got a pair in great shape... let me know if you want pics. I was going to throw these on ebay, but will sell here first if you really need them.
