Why the wait on the SO3s

Luke, what gives with the extreme delays on the SO3s. I ordered 265/30/19R and 235/35/19F from you guys. I have checked with 10 different shops and they all have an anticipated 1 to 2 month wait. Given the demand for these tires I would think that Bridgestone would pump them out a little faster.

Sleestack, these tires were ordered by Tire Rack in August of 01 and still haven't arrived. They have not received even one tire. I think it is a last minute manufacturing change, because there usually isn't this problem. As far as other shops, they're prob. waiting for Tire Rack to get them (like myself)! As far as I know these are the only sizes that are "in question".

Well I just ordered some S03s for my front wheels, and they came from NV in 3 days. They're 235/40/18s.

just the 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 are backordered as far as I know. 245/35 and 275/30 should be no problem.
