I placed an order through a friend for a set of 33/12.50r18 mud terrains and was told they would be in about 3 or 4 weeks. Its been about 6 weeks and I can't get a solid answer of when my tires will be coming in. Does anyone know anything about the wait on the backorder for these tires? Also if its going to be a long wait does anyone have any other ideas for tires in this size?

 

I was looking at maybe getting them also, but the dealer said that they were back ordered. He was told 4-5 weeks, then 7-8 weeks. He said that is was that way with both Nitto and Toyo, A/T's and M/T in the 33-35" range. They are a very hot tire right now and just can't be found. I ended up getting my Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/60/18 (33X13X18) off Ebay, is was the best price that I could find.

I read recently that Toyo is building a new plant/warehouse in Georgia to produce tires. Hopefully they will get it up and running quickly so the shortages on Nitto's and Toyo's will be a thing of the past.

 

Hopefully they will have the same quality product...

 

I'm kind of limited on the kind of tire I can go with as it needs to be a 33/12.50r18. There aren't that many choice and from what i understand the toyo is the best tire on the market.

 

wait it out man- they're awesome tires (got the 33x12.5r18 toyo mt's on mine)- you'll love em!

 

I special ordered mine on sale about a month ago. I emailed Toyo and it looks like it will be at least another month. The strange thing is, the latest 4wheelparts mag shows a price drop of about $50/ea but shouldn't it be a price increase for demand? I shure hope they are worth it. I am getting 37/13.5-17's on 17x10's.

 

I just order my Toyo Open Country MT 33x125R18 tires. They just got a shipment in Northern California in today 7-12-06. Les Schwab quoted me $1500.00 out the door. I'm sure they will go fast. I had mine shipped to Southern California through Discount Tire. I can't wait. I have been waiting since November. Good Luck!

 

$1500.00 otd Sorry to say this but I think they saw you coming in the door

 

$300 per tire. $100 install. $35 per tire insurance. = $1440.00 + tax.
That is the cheapest price I could find for 33x12.50R18 in CA.
The cheapest price I could find online was $290 per tire and they were backorderd.
Please let me know where I can find a better deal in CA. I'd like to know for my next set of tires. Thanks.

P.S. 35" tires are cheaper than the 33"

 

they only have certain tires available right now. according to the website, production was support to start in march of this year.

 

I guess some people are more fortunate than others

WOW a double post....not cool!

Yeah your right, a 33 is a few $$$ install is a bit high, but even if the dropped it to $50 its only $50 that you would be saving. Good luck with the purchase and post some **** pics when you get them!!!

 

WOW!!! I don't even have $1500 into my rims, tires, and mount/balancing. I guess that means that I got a great deal on my tires! I paid $620 for all 4 of my 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers shipped from Texas to Wisconsin. You gotta love Ebay!!

 

Sorry for the double post. I am new to this. I wasn't sure what the difference was between quote vs reply. Now I know.
