Kuhmo SPT 19" OEM coupe size - Backorder input

These must either be really popular or about to get replaced because they've been hard to find for the past few weeks (and possibly longer). Local shops are able to give competitive pricing compared to TireRack (after shipping) but no-one including Tirerack has them available. Anyone out there have some insight on why these are unavailable?

I'm running these right now on my 19's. Pretty good tires for a descent price. Very quiet tires compared to my last more expensive aggressive BFW KDW's. I like em so far.

I'm changing gears and going with the popular alternate size: 245/35/19 and 255/40/19. Kuhmo SPT's are much more readily available in this size and I won't mind having a little extra rubber as well.

Yeah I gave up. Originally that was the tire I chose at discount tire when I placed my order.

But I chose them in stock OEM 19 size which is why we had so much trouble finding them too.

I wish the manager was more informative. He could have found me a set in a size similar to what SiouxFalls mentioned and my whole ordeal would not have stretched out 2 weeks to replace one set of tires

They are a cheap alternative to the stock size since most people don't want to replace them with the Bridgestone/Michelin. However, I have been telling people to run 245/35/19 & 255/40/19 on the stocks forever now. These have no problems with the VDC and you can run more of a selection.
