They used to make the rubber pellets for tires in Baton Rouge.

I've had 4 Bridgestone Duelers sitting in the corner of my living room since August. Might make a trip back to BR to dump them on Florida Boulevard.

I just purchased a new set of Michelin tires at Costco. It took about two weeks to get them shipped to the store. They were $440 installed.

We’re they puny trailer tires or what?

I just ordered tonight 4 Michelin’s for my daughter’s car for $1,200 not including installation or disposal. BTW, already have the Tracking Numbers which say Thursday delivery.

We went to eat dinner at Elizas Friday night and they were out of French fries. Steak and Frites doesn’t really work without the Frites. So gf ordered the duck and our server told us she got the last of the grits. Wtf?

I’ve got 5 33 inch KO2 take offs from a Rubicon with 4,000 miles that I need to sell. They’ve been taking up room in the garage for 5 months. Maybe my waiting will payoff a bit.


For what size wheel?



Tires are LT285/70R17

I tried to order Toyo Open Country AT's and was told they were on a country wide back order.


FYI Tire Rack still has a lot of tires other places are out of. They appear to have moved on the reports months ago that this would happen and stocked up.




Kind of curious how the performance tire supply might be next year. They seem to generally just make them in batches yearly, talking 200tw here as used by autocross and track day guys, and shortages late in the year are common.

If production and distribution is limited I don't see Hankook setting a line to make RS4's over more truck tires as an example.

My buddy just got his 992 GT3 last week and it came with Pirelli. Those cars have always been cup 2 with a few Dunlop sprinkled in.

I'm talking more about the tires autocrossers, track day and endurance guys are running. Not OE performance tires.

Tires like Hankook RS4, Falken 615/660, Yoko A052, Bridgestone RE71R, etc.

Although if there are bottlenecks I could see low production OE performance tires being troublesome to source as well.
