Just curious if anyone else has experienced delays or backordered product with Firestone Deluxe Champions lately. Speedway has had mine on back order for months. Wondering if just a Speedway issue?
I waited over a year from Summit, Speedway and Coker. Promises, promise, promises. Big no show. Bought Diamond Backs. Warren
love the look of them, but the delays and price for them now, it has me looking at bias ply looking radials
Just bought Diamond Backs wide whites ordered in May with a 4 week delivery quote, got them right on schedule.
I've got to the point where if something isn't in stock, I don't order it. That's the first think I check. If no one has it, it's "vaporware".
speedway had a blowout sale on the 5.60 15 and 8.20 15 big and little sets on their web site for black Friday last year, so I would think the 15's are readily available... I picked up a set and did several of my club brothers. I know the 16's have been tough to get for a while though. I didn't need them at the time but they were so cheap I had to buy them. It was like 600 bucks for all 4 tires. I just put them on the roadster a few weeks ago.
call in- "Do you have them "In Hand", if they said we have to Order them, move on. or wait years. I see you are in Norwalk, try Performance tire or Lucas tires or even call the local Coker. if you need them now you pay up of they have them. Still in the same boat when I order tires for my Caddy.
Note that they don't mount tires there so take a ride down Valley blvd and find a tire shop. Also order proper tubes if you are running them on Amazon. The price difference for the same thing is significant.
Waited at least 18 months for blackwall 18 x 700 2 tires bias ply. I had ordered and kept the order at Coker active. The tires arrived at my door 5 weeks ago. They may be in stock now.
