Default Help!! Need 245/35/19s SO'3 NOW!!

Hey guys, ive called EVERYWHERE and can not located a single 245/35/19 SO-3.

Vendors- do ANY OF YOU have one sitting around or know someone who has one

Memebers- Where did you get your tires? Can you see if they have 1? I am running out of options at this point.

I already purchsed them from tiresplus over a month ago and the last tire is STILL on backorder from Bridgestone. Bridgestone keeps dicking around and I dont know if I will ever get it.

PLEASE respond asap.

Scott

wadd, this sux. I am looking for them as well, my iForged wheels should be done soon. I am now looking at different options (Toyo and Dunlop 9000 sports). I jut spoke with my wheel distributor (family owns dealers, so I go direct), he is under the impression that Tirerack gets the 1st distribution of S0-3s and he doesn't have a date from bridgestone, just that "they are on backorder and tehy have 30 people on the list already". I did notice that Tirerack initially had a date of 2/14, now that looks to be pushed back to 2/28. I am seriously thinking of other options.

You have mentioned in the past that you have a friend that gets you deals on tires, go back to him nad see if you can trade your 3 so-3s and order dunlops (slightly less $$) or Toyos instead (edit-i just remember that you are doing different sizing b/c of the wheel widths you got, sorry I forgot, is there ANY other brand that makes the 2 sizes that you need???)

did you try www.onlinetires.com again. I know you weren't interested in paying shipping before, but they may have them.

I located 2 fronts 1hr from my house. The guy is PRICE gouging like a ***** and he thinks its funny. He realizes how they are on back order so figured he would raise the price 50bux a tire. WHAT AN A$$ HOLE!

Tomorrow I gotta leave work early to buy them and then drive another 45 min to get them mounted. WHERE OH WHERE will all this stuff fit in my Z?

Lemme clarify..... I am getting them today or tomorrow from ButlerTire and they are RAPING me cause they are the last 2 left ANYWHERE around.

About tirerack...... I called them too. They may be blowing SOME smoke up your ***. Bridgestone honestly DOESNT have a specific ship date on those tires. Call Bridgestone directly and they will say "oh maybe next month some time"

Try Todd at Discount Tire Direct. He can fix you up. I know because that is what I have on the front of my car right now.

tholzwarth@discounttireco.com

LUKE,.I'm in the process of waiting for my tires as well!(245/35/19) and 275/35/19

Any way you can get me those just so I don't have to wait for 4,..TIRE RACK has my Credit card info,.and waiting to take money untill delivery--so i guess the 275/35's I'm still gonna have to wait for???

I'm kinda worried about this as well!!
when my VOLKS's come--I'm gonna be ready to throw them *****'s on and start 'Flossin"

if you have already placed an order check with whomever you chose to work with I'm sure he can give you an update. I try to keep all of my customers updated when they are forced to wait

LUKE, since the avail of these tires is SUCH an issue, what is your opinion of the Dunlop 9000 sports as an alternative????
