    Default Does every tire shop have the same supplier?

    Want to get a set of BF Goodrich V-rated Traction T/As. All the shops in Lethbridge though said they had to get them in from thier warehouse in Edmonton, and there was only 3 up there in the size I wanted, so I'd have to wait a while for a new shipment from BF Goodrich. What, does this so-called warehouse supply every tire dealer in the province? Are there any shops that would likely have them in stock? I want to get them by next week.

    On second thought, I bought some tires from Tirecraft for our 4Runner and they had to be transported in from Edmonton........maybe they do have the same supplier?

    BF Goodrich is the warehouse...

    What size are the tires you're looking for?

    I've got connections through other sources... I will check in the morning and see if I can track you down some. If they are on a national wide factory backorder though, it may be tough...

    Word is that they are due to arrive at the warehouse in the next 1 to 2 weeks if all goes proper...
