    No word. They posted on IG a week or so ago that everyone there had COVID which delayed them, so hopefully they're cranking them out again.

    Also tires are still on a national backorder with no ETA, so I'm on a standstill on that too.

    Probably start working on a new rear bumper here soon, that's about all I can do at the moment. I decided a JD2 or similar was too pricey for how much I'll use it, but did buy an affordable bender. Hope it works well enough to whip up a simple bumper and a couple other things.

    Sounds about right, bummer but seems to be the norm. STT Pros just came back in stock if that’s of interest.

    The Nittos are a 11.50 width and load range C. Hoping to stick with that, but will go with whatever 35x12.50 here soon if there's no update.

    Which Nittos are you trying to go with again, Brett?

    I’ve been wanting to go with the Kenda 35x10.50 for my next set, but I’m pretty sure they’re not load range C.

    Trail Grapplers.

    The Kendas could be an option - they're load range D.

    Damn, there's like no tires in stock. :pout:

    Just called about MT/Rs in 35x12.50r17 load range C (yes would I need to personally apologize to anyone I've made fun of in the past for having goodyears. :rofl:) no ETA on those either...

    I'll give it until my NW box shows for the Nittos, and then I'm just going to order whatever the hell 35" MTs I can get.

    Are you committed to a load range C tire?

    Not necessarily. I was more stuck on the width than the load range, but I guess if I go with 12.50s I should just look closer at tire weights, as that's what's more important.

    Was just eyeballing the Hankook MT2, as I liked my previous ones, and they're lighter the Nittos. Who knows.

    I ordered the Nittos through discount direct, but that order was turned into a quote, so I'm not tied to anyone.

    Need new wheels though too, so if I can order at the same time and get a free mount and balance that would be helpful.

    Do you still have any connections?

    If you get desperate enough, to go with KM3s, they seem to be available. I ordered mine last Thursday and they are being installed today. Ordered through Discount tire. I think they were the ones that said they could get the nittos, but I never asked them for a quote or timing as I wanted the KM3s. Might be worth a shot?

    @teamhypoxia - "There's two types of tires: round ones, and BFGs." :rofl:

    Awesome! Thanks for checking. That's a lot better than the no ETA I keep hearing.
