Sorry guys, we are only getting a small handful of what is backordered in this week. What is inbound has already been sold to those that got orders in months ago. All GT4 owners....Late February/early March is the hopeful next boat in.

You can always put your name on the list for what comes in next. I won't bill you until they ship. Call me to pre order.

I noticed a very slight price increase from last batch so just bought a set on your website, sent you an email.
Thank you for being on this board

We did have a few more fronts come in today. What came in the front door went right back out the back door! I'm hoping to have some more in next week.

I'm glad it worked out!

As of today we are sold out of fronts. More on are order but I don't know when they will be in. I'm hoping in March, but Bridgestone has not confirmed it.

Everyone that has gotten them lately has received them because they pre-ordered. It does matter. MANY more are still on back order than we have been receiving in, so please call or email me to pre-order.

Got my front set yesterday....Damon kept me on the loop all the time and finally got a set for me just in time. Thanks Damon!
Should I pre-order my next set now?

Everyone has space concerns in their garage and having extra tires around can be a hassle but did you know about Tire Rack's very cool tire/wheel storage system?
I have two of these, 6 lag bolts is all it takes to install

That's a very nice solution.....the thing for me is that I'm debating buying a set of 19" wheels just for track use so still don't know if I will need 19" or 20" RE71Rs next time.....or maybe some R7s!!!!
Still those Tire wall racks will be on my shipping list if I do go for 19"

Since its just a garage one could always go for this solution. 1/3 the cost of the linked tire rack model.

Why are these tires in such short supply? Anyone know why Bridgestone is not producing enough to meet the demand?
