Nobody in the UK seems to keep stock of such tyres.

I know Hoosier UK can get their stuff at fairly short notice, they usually order Wed I think and goods will be ready either Friday or Monday so less than a week.
But with Hoosier you pay full whack, no discounts.

Even ordering via Hauser in the past, they were about 3 weeks.

TBH if you wanted them quickly, might be as handy buying direct from the US, but postage will not be cheap.

nobody in the UK ever has stock of anything ffs ! lol

If they do a size that fits, I do personally think the Hoosiers wil grip better. But they are more expensive and they do not last as long as the MT's

TBH with the price Lee has on his site for the MT's I'd buy a pair over the Hoosiers too.

If you're stuck and need something though, the Nitto 555R's are very good and the first tyre I ever ran a 10 on.

Went straight to easy 10.5's with them, 245/50x16 at Santa Pod

Looks like LARacing's prices on their website must be a decade out of date !

Had hoped for a bargain there, but prices are same as almost everywhere else selling.

Borderline as to whether just importing direct is cheaper.

Damn

I mailed LEE a few times trying to get a price
but never got a price back, all I got back was no stock at present,

Just had confirmation my order with trackstuff has now gone through to MT in the USA and my tyres are now on order to be made etc,
at least I know my tyres have not been sat on a shelf lol

Summit seem to list a lot of them as shipping next day, so they seem confident of stock.
For UK postage they offer some iparcel service, which actually doesnt seem too horrific
