They better not try to substitute my Continental tires with Michelins.

You're correct. Makes sense. Parts would be allocated to build an order that already had a dedicated VIN. I feel confident I'll get my 23. Still can't be good running out of wheels and tires. Though I would really like the optional machined 17 inchers.I would think they mean rims and tires are exhausted by what they have scheduled already. Not that they are out and can't build what's scheduled already.
Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone are rolling over in their graves.Lol, seriously! This is like a restaurant that constantly runs out of burgers and can't imagine procuring them from anywhere but Walmart.
Am I wrong and tire supply is in severe jeopardy now too? Can't they source tires from like aton of companies that produce them in that size and just put it in their docs that it's "any brand available"?
I think it was about 2 years ago when they told us they couldn't get mud flaps or floor mats. (And still can't).Exhausted is about right! At what point does reading these bulletins become unhealthy![]()
I've got a '23 XLT scheduled to be built week Aug 21 or thereabouts. What does this mean for me?
And does that imply the 24s will get a different tire?Am I reading it correctly, they have exhausted their supply of tires for xl/XLT?
I wouldn't be disappointed if that was true...And does that imply the 24s will get a different tire?
