MrLabGuy is on a distinguished road
Here is keeping my fingers crossed with TireRack

I just got off the phone with a TireRack rep who took my order for replacement tires on my 2001 X5 4.4 Sport. I decided to move from the Michelin Diamaris to the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport tires. The price was about $400 less and with a new childs car-seat in the back I'm not taking advantage of the Sport aspect of the vehicle these days.

Anyway the fronts are on backorder which is why I called and spoke with a representative. I need rears right away due to picking up a couple nails in the rear passenger tire and they had 3 in stock so I grabbed two which will be here tomorrow. The fronts however are back-ordered and the rep quoted me 7-14 days to ship. One other local Bridgestone dealer called me back and told me that Bridgestone told him they were 8-10 weeks on backorder for this tire and size. There is no way my front tires are going to last that long as I'm already at the wear bars. Had I been told there was a 8-10 week backorder I would have gone with another brand.

Anyone have any idea if TireRack will stand behind the 7-14 day quote. I'm not going to use two different types of tire on my car due to this issue.

What should I expect and what would you do?

Thanks
