    If you run tall rubber, 11R.24.5 don’t wait till the last minute to buy tires.
    If you want name brand tires good luck on finding them.

    I just got 10 Firestones at Southern Tire Mart in Sulphur LA 3 weeks ago. Everything was in stock along with 6 new rims. Felt lucky.

    Even lo pro 24.5 good tires were nowhere to be found a couple months ago when I needed them. Ended up with some Falkens that I'm not entirely impressed with.
