You are right Mike. If you look at the manufacture date of a tire.....a 4 digit number like 1110, that means that that tire was made on week 11 of year 2010. From what I could see on most new tires (r888's) at the track, they are at least 16 months old. the werehouses release OLD stock before the latest arrivals from Japan. So don't panic and start HORDING. If they stop shipping, there is at least a years supply of the R888's
Lainey, don't panic. You'll love the Toyos.![Big Grin Big Grin](https://rtr-pca.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Quote:CJ's West Chester manager told me that he spoke to the TOYO rep and was assured that TOYO had a large supply of tires in the US, albeit in their California warehouse. He added that they will be stocking up their East Coast warehouse in short order.
So that's the latest. Let's hope our good friends at CJ's can use their formidable buying power to keep us in tires. Let's also keep each other posted as we hear of events unfolding.
