OK, back in JULY I ordered 4 new AVON Turbospeed CR228-D tires for my 1989 Turbo R from Tire Rack. They have been continually pushing the delivery date by 2 weeks, and now they are estimating these tires will be in stock at the end of October. I'm very frustrated because my existing tires (AVOCN Turbospeed CR228) are in really bad condition, the car has been parked most of the summer with only short trips to the store once a week to keep things moving for fear of the tires failing.
I'm located in Oregon USA.
My car has 17 inch wheels, likely from a different year Bentley.
I'm curious for your opinion on these courses of action (or something else entirely that I'm not considering)
1. "Suck it up and deal with it, the AVON Turbospeed tires are the correct tires and better than anything else- Tire Rack has the best price and availability."
2. "Hey guy, didn't you know those AVON tires are available from XYZ company____[ fill in this blank]__? "
3. "Just get the Bridgestone/Pirelli/etc brand tires, I recommend this exact model/type: ____"
I would prefer not to buy new wheels, as the ones I have are in very nice condition.
Thank you for any thoughts!
