I ordered a set plus one or 5 MT Baja Bosses back in March and got an estimated delivery date of April. Then a few weeks later it changed to May. Then late May, and now to late June. And while this is going on they start advertising a $100 rebate if you order a set now. So I called up Mickey Thompson, actually it’s owned by another company, to ask what was happening. I’m trying to get the 35/12.5/17s. So they say that they just shipped out a dozen sets. And that they aren’t even scheduled to run another batch for another 6 weeks. Also they can’t say if mine would be in there. And finally that I can’t get in on the rebate because I would have to re-order now.
Makes me think they’ve been reading Fords Bronco play book.

Combined with aggressive sales advertising and limited scheduling of running the product through production. It’s a thing of beauty. A sure fire way to win new customers.

You pretty much can't find anything these days. I had to look in a lot of corners to find my tires when none of the distributors had them.

The same size KO2's are backordered until June. Ridge Grappler's until July. There is a clear reason for this, but if we say it we will get dinged by the Mods, so I'll leave it up to you to figure it out.

Beautiful.
So I get from this I should probably start looking and ordering NOW for my eventual upgrade to 37/13.50/17 SST pro’s or Baja Boss’s…
8K miles and counting on stock SAS tires.
just a matter of time, especially if I chunk them up on trails…

Yeah, the tire shortage is real.

I wanted the Mickey Thompson 255/85/17 but couldn't get them.

I think I found the last pair of Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/17 on planet earth. They are waiting for me at Discount Tire. Now I just need my Bronco.

It’s not just Mickey Thompson. It’s the entire rubber industry. The video below was made back in July of 2021, almost 9 months ago.

I would. I started ordering stuff for mine once I received a VIN. Figured to get a head start on it since the supply chain issues. Never dreamed all my orders would be here way before my Bronco. Thought I would still be waiting on some stuff while I enjoyed my new Bronco,,,,,, we see how that worked out. 😡😡

I’m in the same boat. I should have just ordered in January to at least get on the “list”. If anyone has a lead or wants to sell theirs, hit me up! 🤭
