Nitto & Goodyear backordered

[DWSmooth]

Just wanted to pass along some information I recieved today. The Nitto 555 Extremes and Goodyear Eagles tires for our Ls are on backorder, 295/45/18.

I got a set shipped down from a Discount Tire in MN, will be here next week. But while he was looking for mine he called 4-5 other stores/wholesellers and they said the backorder was approximately 4-6 weeks.

Just in case you have an inspection coming up soon.

Shipping would probably kill me. Aren't you in PA?

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I just bought a pair of Nitto 295/45-18s for the front. Discount Tire had them in 2 days. ???

Obviously demand is way ahead of supply right now. :( That only means the price will go up. ^^^^^

I just in my set of 555R's. Brant at discount had to order them from NITTO directly. Took over a a week to come in. He did have 4 more 555's in stock though. Im rollin on all 4 new NITTO's it feels soooo smooth too :tu:

I got a set of F1's paid for and waiting for me... If I recall correctly, the tires came in from several different places.

What I did... you can put a deposit down on the tire and pay them off over a period of time. The tires come in and are marked sold and they cannot resell them.

Mine have been paid for over a month and I put the deposit down in August. Two months ago I asked them to get them in since I will be needing them soon.

It works and it secures the price of the tire.

Now all I got to do is finish off the remaining tread and get em installed.

Oh yeah... I'll put a deposit on a new set by time summer arrives.

I just bought a brand new pair of Nitto 555Rs from a guy in Florida who sold his Lightning. He had 'em posted in the classifieds over on NLOC. Paid $370 plus shipping ($46). Retail runs about $275 apiece. :d
