Rob22 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Spent some time online sourcing tyres for my 19s. Currently running eagle f1s all round at 245/35 and 275/35. I eventually settled on some conti contact sports ordered and payed for online and shipped to a local centre. Now waiting nearly 3 weeks! First they were on back order from the factory (not stated on the site at the time) and now snow causing a delay too. I asked them to source alternatives (but that I would only accept a decent alternative like f1s or Michelin ps) but apparently my tyres are a strange size and hard to get?!? If I hadn't paid the money I'd have walked away long ago but apparently they'll be fitted Monday. Anyone else experienced difficulty with availability in this tyre size or (as I suspect) I'm being told a load of BS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 No that is quite common with some tyres mate. I remember sourcing Michelin PS2s that didn't come in my size and had a lead tune of a few weeks. Wouldn't worry too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob22 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just got a call to confirm they are in the garage now and they're doing me a bit of deal on a 4 wheel alignment. Wasn't so much the wait as being told they were ready to go and then turning up to find they couldn't even give me a date that annoyed me. Still all seems to be sorted now and hopefully worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Just one of those things +1. It annoys me when they are like well its 5 weeks. No sorry no nothing. When they apologise it makes everything better...sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob22 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) All sorted, Conti's now fitted, haven't had the weather for anything very spirited but road noise seems a little better and so far they've been sure-footed despite the state of the roads here!
