Rubbers... HELP!
Since the PS2's are on big delay and backup'd orders from hell, What are the next best rubbers that have 255/35/19's and 295/30/19's. What do you guys think that are comparable that have those sizes. Maybe it's worth it to wait but Noboby wants to wait til summer's over especially me.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A - Has your front tire size and has a 285/30 for the rear. This tire out-performs the PS2 in the dry, however is a little noisier and not quit as good on tire wear. The front tires are a little less $ than PS2s , and the rear tires are a lot less $ than PS2s. $ 1,136.00 for all four at The Tire Rack and in stock. Sounds like a good tire to hold you over untile the PS2s start shipping again. PS2s in the same sizes run about $1400.00. Good Luck.

Not sure what the heck is happening with tires lately......PS2's are super back ordered.....Goodyear F1 GS D3's are not scheduled for production for another 6 months.....
What in the world is going on with tires in the world.
Is this the great "Tire Shortage of 2005" Long tire lines....people fighting for tires.....tires prices doubling. Well, maybe not that bad, but still.
