So are Bridgestones still the standard nowadays in 2021? I'm currently on the larger Bridgestones (Porsche/Enzo spec) and will be needing replacements soon.

It seems that these tires are hard to find right now. I have searched a lot of sites and tire stores and the inventory on the market is at zero. Am I missing something...Tire Rack - none, Amazon - fronts only, Simple Tire - fronts only, local tire stores in So Cal - nothing, Ford Dealership - nothing....is this due to COVID and supply levels being low across the board on everything or are these tires being discontinued?
Thanks forum!

Just ordered a full set through a local tire store...apparently they claimed these were made specifically for the GT and are discontinued...don't know if that is true...but that is tough if this size isn't going to be available in the future

Sounds like you went Goodyear.
No worries as along as the Bridgestones don't get cancelled. Superior tire anyway.

Evidently the goodyears are not available is what I’ve been told. I could be wrong I’ve been wrong before.
I do know however that Bill @Radial Tire has 36 of the Scuderi rear bridgestones and 50 on the proper Bridgestone N1 front tires available.
Be sure to talk to Bill

Bill at Radial Tire just confirmed that Goodyear has discontinued our tires for the GT
Supplies are limited. We were able to find two sets last week for two GT's in SoCal. Good Luck!

Seems that I waited perhaps too long and now am unable to find the Bridgestones. Discount tire has the rears but not the fronts Tire Rack has nothing. My Shelby’s have Michelin’s Cup 2’s and they are fantastic. Michelin makes the rears in 345/35R19 but the only front is 245/35R18. Buy the Bridgestone rears and park the car until I can find fronts? Any other ideas? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Check the links to Amazon in this topic
www.fordgtforum.com
Amazon says both are in stock. Prices are higher than I recall them being in the past but probably are market. I don't know what others are asking these days.
That same topic suggests checking Costco. I just got an ad with Costco Bridgestone discounts for a set of 4.I don't know if that "set of 4" have to be all the same though.
Bridgestone tires at Amazon?
I just saw a blurb that Amazon and Sears are co-marketing tires, and on a lark, searched for the GT tires. It looks like they have them. Can anyone confirm if these are them? Front: 265/40/ZR18...

Change your wheels, for example HREs, to use Michelin Pilot, 245/35/19 at the front, and 345/30/20 at the rear.
It's expensive, but the improvement in the car is remarkable.

I can't get past the lack of sidewall on the larger diameter wheels.
One of the reasons I like the Bridgestones so much is they aren't rubber bands on the wheel.
