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.

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.
