Last I heard the Cooper tyre factory in Melksham England re-started production for M/T about a year ago, after a US based factory suffered some fire damage.I don't know whats happened since but everyone is over here is having real trouble getting M/T tyres. The guys I used to get them from have given up trying to get them. Hoosier tyres don't seem to have that problem. I'm on my last set of M/T radials but the general consensus is that the Hoosier equivalent, that most have been switching over to, is more consistent with the varying track temps we have over here.

Maybe they can start building tires that are actually round. I have had 2 sets of 295/65-15 drag radials that were egg shaped. One tire was particularly bad. I think I can squeak by until next year. Maybe all this will have blown over by then.
Master, again and still

Just heard that Mickey Thompson hasn't shipped a tire to McCormack Racing in over 3.5 months now. They have no ETA for them. Other nanufacturwrs are getting tires out no problem. I'm not sure where you heard that but it is far from being true. Yes MT has certain tires on national backorder that McCormack has been waiting on since March, to say they haven't been shipped a tire in 3-1/2 months is BS. See pic below, ordered on Monday of this week, arrived yesterday

McCormack says they had a few different sizes left over from before M/T was having manufacturing and shipping issues.
