P500 Shortage of Kenda Bearclaw HTRs?

[CamoP500]

Been looking all over the internet and have not been able to source a pair of Kenda HTRS (8 ply) in 26x11x12 and 26X9x12 or 27X11x12 and 27X9x12. I can only find 26X11 and 27X9. Seems to be a real shortage of the 26x9X11 as every seller I could find said out of stock. I went and grabbed a set of the 26X11x12 so at least I have the rears ready to go when I can find the 26X9s for the front. Anyone know of a place with the 26x9x12 HTR's in stock? Lots of places have the evo 6 plys.

That is a big reason I ended up with 25 inch HTRs. For my purposes the 25s will work fine. Got mine thru the Honda dealership before I took delivery of my 520 because I was getting credit for the unused stock take-offs. Not sure where he ordered them, but he said he couldn't find 26's. And another local place I checked couldn't find them either.

Love the 26s on mine and my dad wants to put the same on his. We will wait it out of awhile. If we have to we can put the EVOs on the front. Must be more Wuhan BS related shortages.

I sell some tires, including Kenda. Tons of supply issues lately. It is very frustrating. Off road and ag tires are tough to get. Soon it will be crazy price increases, i imagine.

Well if you get a set of HTR 26X9X12's I'll take them off your hands. Almost wondering if I shouldn't get the 6 ply EVOs before those are gone. At least the toilet paper supply seems good

I actually just checked my wholesaler and there are no HTR's to be had. I ran a set of 26x9 when I had a 500 and was very happy with them. Supposedly there are containers of Kenda tires on the water, so they should be back in stock before too long.

I kept google searching then finally searched by manufacturers part number. I think I found the last two in the country in a warehouse and got my shipping confirm this morning so I lucked out. Transamerica Auto Parts has them, whoever that is. They were about $25/tire more than I'd seen them before but was just happy to complete the set.

Yes, same situation here in Canada, out of stock, no supplies from China?

Also, it might be worthwhile check out Ocelot Black Diamond HTR in radial from Chaparral Motorsport.
Good luck.
