The BFG website says you are in deep doodoo because they have not produced them yet hence you can't get them anywhere yet.

BFG Rival's are exclusive to Tire Rack. Can't get them from anyone else.

Per the SCCA website:

Member Advisory:

2/22/2013- BFGoodrich G-Force Rival Eligibility:

The SEB has reviewed section 13.3 of the Solo Rule Book with regards to tire eligibility, specifically, the question of 13.3.B and the words "by April 30". It is clear to the SEB that the language used in this section is ambiguous and fails to communicate the intent of 13.3 in a concise manner to our suppliers and our competitors. We must take responsibility for the fact the rule is poorly written. The SEB will submit a new draft of 13.3 for member comment. Well respected members and advisory committees of the Solo community differ in their interpretation of this section.

The SEB has communicated with BFGoodrich and there is high confidence they will meet tire size/diameter requirements for the 2013 Solo schedule. We want the membership to know the use of these tires in competition prior to April 30th is not a rules violation. It is in the best interest for all involved to give guidance now.

The BFG Rival tire will be eligible for National Solo Events immediately and will remain eligible for 2013 provided section 13.3 is met in its entirety by April 30, 2013.

Does that mean if BFGs aren't available in a sufficient number of sizes by tomorrow, they're ineligible for the remainder of the 2013 season?

That's what SCCA said but when there is money and sponsorship involved I would not be surprised if they backed off the date. Have you checked the SCCA website?

DaxBushmeyer is looking for BFG Rivals, not R1 r-comps.

Dax: I called about these tires as well, looking for the same exact sizes as you are. While the 245s are already in stock, the 315s aren't. TR expects to have a batch in about 6-8 weeks.

BFG is ramping up production on this tire the best it can to try and keep up with demand. We are hoping to have a bunch coming in over the next several weeks.
