So the website that said they had BFG Radial T/As in the size I need - didn’t have them and couldn’t get them. So I got a refund. And the only place I could find that has them only has two. So those are off the table.

So I thought I might get those pricier Vredestein Sprint Classics - but now those are on backorder at the site that had them cheapest. So those are off the table because I’m not spending $100+ on a 155 tire. (Vredestein’s totally awesome looking mud and snow tires in this size are over $200 each! - btw)

I ended up going for the Coker Firestone F560 tires - even though Coker themselves are out of stock, a few places still had them available. If nobody fncks up, I should have new tires on the car next weekend.

It is jolly silly difficult to get decent quality tires for this car.

In related news - the new ball joints finally came in, so those will be going on as well.

Yeah, 145's and 155's can be a pain to find. I use 165's on the Le Car.
