    Placed an order for 2 on the 1st with Desser. Order went thru with nothing showing not in stock. My credit card had transferred money to Desser. After 2 weeks still no tires (website shows delivery in 3-5 business days). Called up yesterday and was told they had received 100 tires and those all went to people with orders ahead of me. If I still wanted mine, I'd have to wait til around Dec 26 so cancelled order and went with ACS. More expensive but shipped and due on Tues. Not exactly the way it should be done IMHO on Desser's part.

    Think I agree with you Rick. It can't be that hard to get the website to tell you they are out again and give you a shipping clue right there. Instead they leave you thinking you have them on order and they will show up in a week. Low rent. I guess our supply and demand system got quite the shock during Covid and all and still hasn't recovered.

    Looks like those are the tube tire. Tubeless (like I ordered 2 months ago) still shows Dec 26 as an expected in stock date.

    They are tube type. Don't know about tubeless type but she didn't sound very confident on the 12/26 date on the tube type.

    I ordered some Goodyear tubeless from Aircraft Spruce and just checked my order on the website. Went from mid September to "No clue" (estimate was removed and nothing replaced it). Seems to be a recurring theme.

    I think I ordered the last set of 27.5 Aero Classics that ACS had in stock. Shows a UPS shipping weight of 41 lbs... so I hope I'll get a set of tires next week.

    So Desser refunded my money on the 20th and that showed up today on my CC account. This afternoon I get an email from FedEx saying I have a package coming from Desser. Guess right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing. Now gotta decide if I want them. Got the 2 from ACS on Tuesday.

    ACS is showing Aero Classic 800-6 in stock for $176 a tire as of this moment. This is what I run most of the time.
