NO... there's tires available from other manufactures... BFG's have just been the favorite of many.

so does it look like i'm gonna have to go the fancy tread "performance tire" route if i get 15x10's in the back?

The Coopers are still available in 295's

If you want grip the BFG Drag Radials are pretty good - dont think they have the raised white letters though    :scratchchin:
1968 Dodge Charger - 6.1L Hemi / 6-speed / 3.55 Sure Grip

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T - 5.7L Hemi / 6-speed / 3.73 Limited Slip

1964 Dodge Polara 500 - 440 / 4-speed / 3.91 Sure Grip

1973 Dodge Challenger Rallye - 340 / A-518 / 3.23 Sure Grip

295/50/15 street tires are still made by a number of manufactures... Cooper Cobra, Kelly Charger, Toyo Proxie, Goodyear Eagle, Firestone Firehawk, just to name a few... the list goes on and on  :yesnod:

...and I'm sure that BFG will eventually get them off backorder

It's definitely a shame about the bigger 15" sizes. I couldn't find a radial tire at all for my 14x10's, and I sure as hell hope that the 15" tire sizes don't follow suit. My 255 BFG's were only $82 each though.  :2thumbs:

M/T still makes a 14 that wide available in summit...not cheap though!

Whoops sorry about that....
Im in need of some wide 14's to but they are impossible to find. BFG used to make a 265/50/14 that was perfect for a 10" wide 14" rim....oh well.... ::)

Oh man it's all good. I almost went for them (the Indy Profiles) just so I could use those wheels but I ended up deciding against that. I went on and on and just couldn't find ANY radial tire for a 14x10. Tisk tisk tisk.
