Default 35's Bummed Out

I was finally ready to pull the trigger for a set of Kelly Safari TSR's today. The local Goodyear shop informed me that it may take over six months to get them! Said that production is slated that far out.

WTF.

Anyone else experience this?

Not sure what my Plan B should be.

I liked the TSR specs...diameter, ply, weight, appearance...and price.

Kelly Safari TSRs are great tires--my wife ran them on her XJ for a few years before recently switching to GY DuraTracs. I know GY has got a rebate going right now, which helped me swing the deal for her new DuraTracs. Have you priced those out and checked availability?

Check fierce attitudes they are made by GY based on the duratrac platform. More aggressive and cheaper I believe

The STT's are E10, like my current ProComp's. I was planning to drop to D8 ply, so I'm looking at the Cooper S/T Maxx
