Default Does anyone stock Sumitomos local?

Just wondering if anyone local to Chicago stocks Sumitomos HTRz tires or do they have to be ordered? They are for my DD, just looking for a cheap replacement tire that looks good.
Thanks
AC

Get them from Tire Rack. They are cheap even with shipping. I've aired mine down to 24psi and cut a 1.78 60ft on them. I love them for daily driving.

They are not instock at the indiana plant, think they said Nebraska and GA were the closest ones. But your basically saying they ship them out ASAP?

I see that they have a 160 treadwear rating. Wouldn't that mean that they are only going to last like 10,000 miles?

Dont care Im selling the car and just want to clean it up a bit. For 70 bucks each its a steal and they got good reviews. I would would be picking up some ZR1s that already have 2 new ones on them, just need 2 more to match for the front.

People told me not to get them and I got two anyhow. They worked greated. I had a 2.0 something 60 foot but that was my first time racing. I recently put some wheels on that had some other no name brand and they break loose way too easy compared to the sumitomos.

Gotcha. In that case I would just go with them.
