Hahahahaaaa, I've been waiting on two wheels for a few months... no several months now. Whoever is their wheel manufacturer is worthless.

May have just been close out stock. Message Tony and see if they have anymore. It may just show out of stock until after the weekend.

[garner]

That's for sure. You would figure they would keep everything in stock. I wonder how much money they've lost from it

[garner]

Probably gonna sell the rtr reps anyways. I was a dumbass that didn't research the sumitomo tires to find out they're summer tires. So I'm gonna get motivo but they don't come in 245/45/19 and 275/40/19 so I'd have to go shorter or taller(which neither appeal to me)

I'm fighting a losing battle with this car lol

Look into the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. They have been said to be excellent all season tires. But honestly, you should be fine driving on a summer tire.

I only drive on Ultra High Performance Summer tires. Year round. Did it with the Corvette and Supra.

I agree with this. Being down here we don't get much bad weather(snow/ice) but about two days a year so there's no reason to have "winter" tires.

Even with that, I drive in rain, ice etc. I hardly ever take a day off, and the key is not driving like a jackass . I've never had problems with traction in bad weather as long as I keep it safe.

I'm just so used to all season tires I like the safety net. Plus I need as much traction in all weather as I can get in this car, after coming from big somewhat slow trucks
