Default Summit Racing Sucks

The Short:

Ordered some MT Drag Radials on 12/4/07.
Expected Arrival Date: 12/21/07

3 Days later 12/7/07
Expected Arrival Date: 1/08/08

Today
Expected Arrival Date: 4/1/08!!!!!!!!!!

WTF? I'll be calling them in a few minutes to cancel my order.

When did you get them? Do you have the drag radials?

Cory Wheat discount tire and wheel is also a MT distributor. If they are in Texas he can get them in day or so. They usually get them the same day. They are off Spencer In Pasadena.

Let's go kick the crap out of the pro stock cars when they come into town this year. That will teach them for taking so long with their orders.

I thought someone told me they were moving the plant where those tires were made. Not sure how accurate the info was, but something to consider before bashing on Summit, I've had nothing but good service from them & Jegs as well as the sponsors I've used from here. MTI, Thunder, & Speed Inc.

I have to 2nd that.Never had trouble with either of those two.Must be just bad timing.Holidays,availability...I do think though that they could have informed you of any problems so you wouldn't have to be waiting twiddlin' your thumbs for nothing.I know they were very good with that when they were out of stock on a set of shocks once.They called me and emailed me to say that there was going to be a delay and if I wanted to still go foward with the order.

Good luck man.

I don't care if the plant disappeared via Chris Angel. Summit shouldn't have had the 12/21/07 "Expected Arrival Date" in the beginning. It tells you this date before you click the final "order" button.

I do believe these tires are on back order. I'll probably end up having to wait or going with something else. I've got a couple of local places trying to locate a set for me.

Just canceled my order from Summit. Their customer service said M/T is having issues with their rubber provider.

I just bought a new set of Nittos (275/50/15's) on ebay. They should be here in a few days.
