BFGoodrich KM2 LT255 85 R16 NOT Discontinued.

Just an FYI, I spoke to BFG corporate today about the lack of this size of KM2 on their website and the obvious supply issue with this tire. They said the tire is getting a minor tread design tweak. Re-release scheduled for mid to late June 2015. Mine have been on back order for 7 weeks, looks like I'm waiting for a little longer.

 

This is the KM2 you are talking about, correct?

And thanks for the update. I'd heard they were off market for manufacturing changes but previously no estimate on availability.

 

Yep, sorry I meant the KM2.

Here is the follow up email I got:

Hello Tim,

Dear Customer Care,

I'm hearing rumors online that BFG is no longer manufacturing KM2 tires in the LT255/85/R16. Is this true? Can't seem to find them anywhere in stock.

Thanks,
Tim
