Default Where to buy NT-05 Tires?

Does anyone know where I can get a set of NT-05 tires in 275/40/17 and 295/35/18? Everywhere I look seems to have a 3-6 week back order!

What else can I run that will be similar?

I have always gotten my Nitto's from Discount Tire Online. I have not run the NT05's but I am running the Nitto R2's and like them a lot.

After many calls to many different vendors, the shortest wait period I was able to find was 2 weeks before shipping.

They must have sold fast. I bought a set from Discount Tire Direct about a month ago. Had them in 2 days. They had just received a fresh batch. The dates are very recent. Fresh out of the oven and off the boat ;-)

Btw, They work pretty darn good as track tires. I tried them out at CMP and had fun with them.
