Bridgestone dueler A/T revos on National Backorder

[coobie]

I ordered the Bridgestone dueler A/T revos 265-70 R17 tires last week,they were supposed to be in this coming tuesday Jan 10. The dealer now is telling me the are on national backorder and will not available for 3-4 weeks. I checked on www.tirerack.com and they are on BO until jan 27. Does anyone know of a local dealer in Southern Michigan that has these tires in stock. Thanks for any info. coobie

They are the E-rated 10 ply. I doubled checked, my old school buddy owns the firestone dealership here locally. I found prices from $860 to $715. Kind of crazy on the different price quotes. coobie

Would you believe the northern part of southern MI?

I know that Petoskey is a bit North but Lakeshore Tire had 4 sitting on the floor last week. Their phone number is 231 347-8144.

Bridgestone is still clueless. #@$%!



Jerry Phipps is our Bridgestone / Firestone Rep for all of the S&S Tire locations in KY and other warehouses we have in neighboring states.

I purchased my '03 March 30th, 2003. I traded in a '00 RAM 2500 Quad Cab CTD 4x4 w/LT285/75R16 Dueler A/T REVO's..... they only had about 6k miles of use when I traded in the truck; I absolutely LOVED them (the dealer that took my truck in on trade, did too). Upon purchasing the '03, I immediately contacted Jerry and told him what a wonderful opportunity Bridgestone would have as far as replacement tires go, for the newer 3rd GEN trucks..... I suggested the OE sizes of LT265/70R17, LT235/80R17, as well as some LT285/70R17's and maybe even some LT305/70R17's. To make a long story short, about 30 or 31 months later, they come out with the REVO's and Destination M/T's in LRE in LT265/70R17. Apparently the Japs have enough tire sales and didn't need the extra revenue... . to say they're slow at product development and bringing new tire sizes of existing lines into the market place is an understatement. I've had my LT33X12. 50R17 Mastercraft Courser C/T's for about 14 months and have been extremely pleased with them. I guess Bridgestone missed at least one sale... . mine.
