Thanks for posting this.

Its up to you. Orders that are in our system get filled first so you may want to get your order in soon. Your local store does have to charge sales tax. I would recommend calling them for details and an out the door price.

My system doesn't have one right now but I will check with Goodyear in the morning for you. Thank you for your patience.

I just got off the phone with Goodyear.

I was told there are 1451 MTR Kevlars 37x12.50x17 on back order. There are 9 left in the US. 6 in Hawaii and 3 in Colorado.

AND get this they made 50 a few days ago. There is no date when more will be made. WTF

Our local stores may be able to order them in for you. I don't know if we will ever mail order them. Ever is a pretty hard thing to guess.

I really couldn't say. Tires, like many products, sometimes have flaws. From what I have seen, Goodyear does a pretty good job of minimizing them. Hopefully we will have more MTR with Kevlars in stock soon.
