Well as teh wheel and tire zone delivery dude I was at Kumho Canada Today.. I picked up 15 inch and 16 inch tires... still no 13 inch ones...

This championship might be decided on Kumho's supply ability.

So if I want 13's for my RX-7, I should order them now?

Massive world wide tire shortage this year. In a month you'll be lucky to find Victoracers. Some are speculating that you won't be able to buy new R-compounds at all before August. As always Kumho both underestimated total demand for teh 710 and especially demand for small sizes. For some reason asian tire companies just can't come to grips with the fact that lots of Americans and Canadian drive cars with 13" and 14" rims.

I'm pretty happy(in a sad kinda way)that my car isn't ready yet because if it was and my 701's were still on back order I'd be plenty pissy.

Hopefully the group buy order will arrive soon-last year I gave up my set of victoracers for a later shipment(nice guy not running regional's and all)that never happened-not going to happen this year! ;)

Are you being serious? I was joking since I don't actually need them until next May.

Mmmm, I wonder if I can shoehorn my 222 Hoosiers onto 5" wide rims.....

I talked to Andrew yesterday and he said Khumo have said that he will have a shipment this week with some 13's in it (mmmm, it's Friday so maybe early next week). Hopefully mine will be there as my current tires are toast.

Suddenly ordering some back-up yokos has turned into a really good idea.
