Any others across the nation been finding tires tough to get from your tire suppliers, them blaming it on the coronavirus? Or is that just the line of bs my supplier is trying to feed me?

@SmallPackage deals with tires of some sort.
Rideandrepair and SmallPackage Thank this. -
I've seen no such shortage.
Rideandrepair, bryan21384 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Some tire plants have put a few sizes on back order due to slower production. That is somewhat normal regardless of the corona. I have not heard of any manufacturer shutting down production due to the virus. Probably what’s happening is the dealers you are talking to have a weaker supply chain for certain brands. The big chains get first dibs on purchases.

Cripes, I used to haul truck tires off a container, you never saw so many freakin' tires, and that was just one warehouse in one city. I'd say a bigger shortage is paper products. At my Walmart, no paper plates, axx wipes, paper towels, and speaking of axx wipe, have you seen the prices. A 9 pack of name brand was $10 BUCKS!!
Rideandrepair and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
Definitely a shortage of tires. It’s hard finding them in my area. I already have 16 trailer tires on order.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Imagine thinking it's a conspiracy that someone won't sell you a product they need to sell to stay in business

Don't have to interact with the delivery people. They sit it at the front door, hit the door bell, and take off.Rideandrepair, Sirscrapntruckalot and 201 Thank this. -
