Default KM2s on backorder

Anyone else having trouble finding a set of KM2s? My dealer said they are on a three month back order. I found some in Utah but need to ship them. all just a pain in the ass.

I received a note today from Discount Tire saying the 285/75-16 KM2's I was interested in are on backorder and they did not have an expected ship date. As an aside, I ordered some ProComp wheels that have been on order for over a month and I finally cancelled the order today. I think manufacturers have slowed production considerably given the economic climate, and this is unfortunately one of the effects.

They always seem to be on backorder. Made my decision to go with Nittos easy.

From what I have learned from my tire guys is that the major manufacturers batch there tires. I've heard this story with Goodyear MT/R's also. It seems that they only retool and make these big tires only so often. If your lucky you will catch them when they are making them.

I'm sure some places have a reserve stock.

I have talked to several tire places here in SoCal and they all have them. As did Discounttiredirect.com
