Screw it, I'm gonna run on my heavy cast BBS 19" with RE11s if Nitto doesn't want to make the 245s and 305s anymore. Or will I have to resort to running R6s, BFG R1s, and/or Kumho cheater tires?

I'm sure this has been discussed a hundred times on here but I'd like to know the next best setup with our sizes. I too have worn 245/305 combo. Prob one more event left in them and i DO drive to the track and back on them.

Tried to order from DTD Monday, they said they have none, and contacted Nitto, and were told none were available with no ETA on more.

I have 315's on the way, but they seem to be in short supply also. Hope my 245's last the rest of the season.

4x days on my 245/305s with driving to track. Looks like a day or two left.
