    It wont be, but you can order them delivered to the shop of your choice within a week depending on how picky you want to be.

    Pricier now than then but isnt everything? Tires i got last year. Low pro 24.5

    Warning, if you use that site, use a desktop computer if possible, its pretty terrible on mobile

    I'm in eastern canada, I really dont want recaps, but may have no choice. They are not making any Bf Goodrich Dr454 until fall. That's my go to drive tire. Only michelin my local shop can get are regional type tires, and they are almost $800 a tire. Nothing else available. Hes still looking, going to call about Yokohama availability monday. I may have to regroove what I have to get thru a couple months.

    Have you ever tried Falken BI830 11R22.5?
    I did and I was blown away.
    Closed shoulders, 24/32 tread, quiet and wears even across.
    Rotate every 6 months. Good for 250K-300K kms minimum..
    Priced just about right. Way lower than any Michelin.
    Legal disclaimer: Retired truck driver, not selling tires.
    Good luck.

    I bought 4 cases of filters a couple weeks ago. Supplier called me when some Cat filters showed up and I went all hoarder and cleaned him out. I haven’t had any trouble getting Rotella, but I buy by the 975L cube. Case lot jugs and pails are getting a little hit and miss.

    I made this change with exact spec you have except cm2250 instead of Detroit. About 4 mph gain @70. Slightly less punchy in the throttle and no gain in mpg. Slight loss if anything but probably new tread vs worn mostly. I really don't care for a 10 speed this change made me like it less.

    That's what I'm thinking, a little too much gears for a 10sp and 2:64's. I'm going to find some lopros or regroove mine to buy some time.
