All of you experts should really spend a little more time researching before you
start
typing.

My weekly fax from Hoosier shows:

245/35ZR18 A3S03            81 Scheduled to be built 2/15/99
245/35ZR18 R3S03            183 in stock
275/35ZR18 A3S03            81 to be built 2/1/99
275/35ZR18 R3S03            135 in stock, 162 to be built 2/8/99
335/30ZR18 R3S03            107 in stock

335/30ZR18 A3S03 will be built but has not been scheduled yet.

In addition two new sizes not yet scheduled are 245/40ZR18 and 305/30ZR18

Perhaps we should start a rash of postings hammering Hoosier for not having them
when you want them. But we should not forget the other tire compaines who are
not building them at all?

Actually I understand BFG is testing 18" tires next month, this is word of mouth
from a friend who has been asked to test them for BFG.

I personally prefer the Road Race compund except when it is cool, like in the
morning at Nationals.

Royal Tire Co. is happy to take orders now. FOB Salina, Ks.
