I don't know what it's like at other localities, but I can't get BFG KO's or any other replacement tire right now. COSTCO told me that there is a three month waiting list for Michelins.

According to the 8 Sept Wall Street Journal, there is no big flap about Bridgestone/Firestone tires in Japan. They attribute the lack of tread seperation incidents in Japan to the fact that there are so few SUV type vehicles there. Interesting!
