BAD NEWS !

BFG are ceasing the size 255x85x16 and what is out there is it at the moment the last batch to hit our shores is in 3 months time at around the $385 a tire

They told Terry that there is next to no demand for them

Which is odd, as they seem to sell every shipment here pretty damn quickly, and it's a very popular size in the UK and Europe too.

Either they haven't tooled up for the new tyre and what we are about to receive is the old KM, or if they have tooled up for the new tyre, we'll get more shipments as most of the costs have already occurred and they'll have to amortise them over more production batches.

I was banking on getting these as my next set of tyres, when I get the money

Might have to find something else now
