I just came from Newell. I thought I was going to get the 365 tire upgrade for $4900. I know that is more than doing ala carte, but thought it was worth the extra money to get everything done in one place while getting other things fixed too. However, Newell failed to price in the stud change, another $2000. I told them no. $7000 seemed way too high for that upgrade.

Then I got the idea to call Big Cabin which is a Michelin dealer in the area using the advantage program. They would install the studs, and wheels if I purchased them separate and brought them in, then purchased the tires through them using Michelin Advantage. Problem - none in stock, and back ordered. Michelin is starting a production run this next week, but fulfilling back orders before new orders. Thus, they did not know when they could get them.

Anyone know of a large dealer that might have the tires in stock? Or be high on the list for back orders? I am also considering seeing what the price for tires only from Newell is, then take to truck shop for installation.

Other ideas?

Thanks Mike
