I was just going to take the XFire for one last drive, (before winter storage) when I noticed the passenger side rear was flat! So I removed tire and took it to the local performance tire shop that dealt with Conti's, in hopes they could patch the darn thing.

Then I got the call that a nail was present but to close to the side wall to repair, then they laid the Bomb: All Conti's were on National Back Order, with no release date! I trust these guys because they were not trying to sell me new tires, in fact they suggested contacting the dealership to see if they had any remaining Conti's I could procure and/or swap.

It seems that the 2007/2008 XFires that are being sold, are consuming remaining stock of Conti's? Can anyone confirm this?
