I appreciate the feedback. I'm swimming through unknown and deep waters right now...

I just spoke with Goodyear direct, and thay told me "Yes, 6 months from ordeer to delivery sounds about right." (295-35X18). So....I told him, "I won't buy yoour tires as NOBODY will wait 6 months for a tire delivery on a RACE tire!"

My Rival S are back ordered. 315s after Thanksgiving, 335s after Christmas. Going on my AS Viper. Don't know if they will be version 1.5 but I would think so.

Thanks to Phil's Tire, starting to get a decent stock built up. Need to put these all in trash bags this weekend.
