    I know this is the middle of the summer bit I just wanted to share some information with the group.

    I don't know if people are aware but there was a fire in the Bridgestone plant in Japan that produces all of their Blizzak tires. I know lots of people are thinking well, I really do not like their tires anyways so who cares? Well, they produce the vast majority of snows on the market so if they have no product then the rest of the manufacture's have to try and cover the gap.

    Time to start thinking about getting an order in for your snows early so you can get them. I have been told that the run of snow tires is complete for most manufacture's
    and they might be in shortage of them this year due to the fire.
