Tires are getting scarce at retail stores

[clerkkent]

Our Targets have stopped carrying bike tires altogether. Our Orchard Supply Hardware converted over from the unfolded hanging tire display to the folded up in a box model (the same kind that Walmart has).. with a 100% price increase AND no more whitewall tires. We don't have a Toy R us in our area, and our lone Kmart is iffy at best. Even our LBS don't carry white walls (although they seem to have trouble ordering sufficiency supplies of anything in general). These days, my best bet for tires is to prowl yard sales, or make a bulk order online and hoard tires.

What's it like in your area?

I've always had great luck w/ Amazon. Cheapest tires and all the styles I could possibly want, all in one place and the tires usually arrive w/in a week.

My LBS has a lot of vintage styled tires like Goodyear tread and S-7's in stock. Also Felts.
I guess I'm just lucky.
