Help looking for a new front tire everything seems to be out of stock

[Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008]

Anybody know where I can get a name brand tire.

I'm in the same boat...been waiting for a front Dunlop Elite IV for a while now.  Was able to contact Dunlop directly and they couldn't give me an availability date, but the customer rep said their manufacturing had been completely disrupted due to the pandemic.

There's only a few hundred miles left on my old front tire, so I'm not sure what's gonna happen...

Update...

I found a Bridgestone front tire at Rocky Mountain ATV:  https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/bridgestone-g701-exedra-touring-front-motorcycle-tire-p?v=5974

...and a Shinko which is cheaper:  https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/shinko-se890-journey-touring-front-motorcycle-tire-p?v=5974

They're both radials, but I'm considering less expensive Shinko as a temporary replacement.

Got tired of waiting (since April) for Dunlop to start making their Elite IV 150/80R-17 front tires again.  Plus, the Shinko tires have been out of stock as well.  Luckily, the Avon Cobra Chrome AV91 150/80R-17 front tires became available.  Just purchased one from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.

I'm paying $220.32 including shipping and tax...should have it on Hildr by the end of next week.

I've been riding very short rides trying preserve what's left of the old front tire.  That's gonna end soon!

Something must be wrong with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC...I ordered that Avon front tire this past Friday, July 9th with standard free shipping (any order over $75 is shipped standard free shipping) and it showed up this morning, Sunday, July 11th. 

Don't they know there ain't no MC shops open on Sundays that will mount a tire for ya? 

Sheesh!
