So, I order a new set of Michelin Anakee's for BZilla last week with plenty of time to get them here for the big AR trip this week. When I placed the order I called and checked when the shipping date was, "Tuesday with no problems." I was told. This gives me a 2 day cushion just in case something goes wrong. :? Uh-oh I thought...the lady on the other side of the phone just jinxed me and I'll probably need those extra days. Today I call and get a status...tires went on backorder. No phone call, email, or notice. You'd think they would have called or emailed me back saying they went on backorder but NOOOO!!!
Now I'm without new tires. Figure I've got just enough rear tread for the trip but it's going to be close. Luckily we will be trailering to Hot Springs. If not, I would have to cancel.
Anyway, I start making calls. None in Austin or San Antonio. Called a few shops in Houston and they would 'have to check and call back.' No luck there. I remember someone on ADVRIDER site talking about swtires so I find the website and give them a call and tell them my sad story. They thinks he can get the tires to me before I leave on Thursday for Scott's place but not 100% sure. Cross fingers.
Scott-I had them shipped to my business. Usually, business deliveries have precedence over residential.
Moral of the story - DON'T BUY FROM TireExpress.
