Tire shortage?

[Vertex]

When I ordered replacement PS4S for my Mach 1 I kept the default tire size (305/30r19, 315/30r19) and got them in a few days from where I work (subby dealer) had no issues getting them in, however, they were not showing many in the warehouse.

Interesting. I went from the G2's to the PSS and it was night and day. I never noticed the issues. I had the G2's about 12 months, and the PSS about 6. These F1's are ridiculously squirrely in the rain, even driving way conservative. Terrible tire in that regard.

After two autox events, they were hard as a rock, and the only time I got enough heat in them was on a 90 plus degree day, in Houston, not spraying my tires.

Gotcha, guess that didn't really apply to my situation.

Many manufacturers are facing unprecedented difficulties, everything from a shortage of raw materials, to carrier delays in shipping after they get the product built and trying to get them here. Many manufacturers have shifted their focus to keeping sedan stock options available which leaves the larger or more Niche sizes in a deficit.

The 555RII is currently on national back order but the 555G2 is currently available in both sizes you noted.

Thanks that is looking like a good option for me!

That would be a good option for me if I had gotten the 11in rear Wheels. I have 10 inch rear wheels

Today I went to the Ford Dealership here in Naples for tires....

What on earth would cause you to do that?

No shortage here. Tirerack has everything ready to go.

Haha yea I get it but I know better now. I bought the car and supercharger from them and they installed it. Also the wheel kit was from them. Suppose I started with them out of habit

I had to order my Nitto NT555 R2 305/35R19s from WheelWiz as everyone else was out of stock. Their website said they were out of stock as well but when I called they said they had 26 in stock at their Vancouver warehouse.

Sold.

Took 4 days to arrive.

How are you liking them? Now that I’ve found them it’s Michelin or Nitto. Im leaning towards Michelin.

I have the Nitto G2 on the front and had them on the rears but they can't handle the power of a stock gt let alone The supercharged power.

So far I'm digging them although I would imagine once the supercharger gets installed they will still require some care.

Yes once you have the supercharger installed it will spin about everything. I’ve been driving roush 2 supercharged for 6000 miles with 255 all seasons. Of course they don’t work with it but it’s a crazy fun spinning like that. With trac control off it’s still loose at 65 mph then you just have to back off. I know the 305 will still be spinning but much improved. Plus it will be safer in the high speed regime
