Having a hard time finding 21" tires.

Hey Guys,

Recently bought/ordered 21" BBS CH-R II's for my F10 550i. They should be here in a few weeks, but I cannot find tires anywhere. Locally, online, major franchise tires stores; nobody seems to have access to them or they are all back ordered with no ETA.

Sizes:
255/30/21 Fronts
295/25/21 Rears

I was hoping for Michelin PSS tires, but at this point I"ll go for anything that is a summer tire.

Other brands I've looked at and have had no luck:
Pirelli Rosso - backordered
Toyo T1R - backordered
Nitto Invo - don't make rear size anymore


If anyone has a source please let me know! If it's with-in the tri-state I'm willing to pick up and meet them, otherwise I'll pay for shipping if they don't mind shipping.

Thanks!
Amar

I did a search and some BMW owners rolling on 21's have these tires.
Dunlop SP SportMaxx DSST*tires
Goodyear*Eagle GS-D3

What about Falken Fk-453? In my opinion a very good tire for the price you pay.

Yeah I saw those, but apparently they stopped making the rears. Tirerack said they're coming out with a new model and the T1R's are going to be discontinued.

Still looking guys if you have any advice. I've contacted at least 40 places arounf the tri-state area.

Good to know as I'll probably need to give them a call when I switch over to 21"

Thanks for the lead, I appreciate it more than you know! They unfortunately will not ship outside of California, but they did have them in stock (low numbers though).

I did figure it out. I called BaanVelgen (ordered my BBS wheels through them), and they actually had the sizes in stock in Continental ContiSportContact 5P's. Weird thing is, they don't make that size in US, but they do in Europe.

Glad I finally got it figured out, and to everyone else I truly wish you good luck. Took me 3 months to source!
