Currently running the Bridgestone - R 345/35 ZR19 and F 245/40 R18

Can't find any in stock anywhere. Anyone know where to find or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

TireRack is where most of us purchase.

I got them at Costco. Mounted, balanced, and nitrogen filled.

We recommend running 265/40R18 on the front in the Bridgestone - fits the rim better and gives you a little more rim protection.

RoadKing, My website said they have both Bridgestone sizes in stock and are getting more 345s on 05/25/16. Strange how the internet works. I just ordered a set of 4 tires.

Whatever you get make sure you going to check the build date. You don’t want any tires that are older than three years old.Request tires built in the last 6months -1 year

The rears that I just got from TireRack, were built the 5th week of 2016, they're "minty fresh"!!!

Good to know they are still doing regular production runs on these tires.

My rears came in today with the same date 0516. Not so fresh for the front 265/40s I received which were 4814, 1.5 years old.

Just had a new set of Goodyears installed and balanced. Wow, what a difference with the new tires!

You want Michelin Pilot Super Sports, or Sport Cup 2s, even. FAR FAR better than anything Bridgestone makes.

^^^^ Michelin tires are not an option, for OEM wheels. GY, Bridgestone, and Hoosier are the ONLY tires available. Unless something has recently changed.

They're an option. Just not a good one. I've inquired about Michelin having any plans to make tires in our fitments on two separate occasions and the answer has been NOPE both times.

Ed, thank you for the correction, I should have said, "not a good option". Another forum member with good connections at Michelin has inquired with our success as well.
