NASA received updated availability status from Toyo:
There were over 700 RA1 units (205/50/15) which just arrived to our shores late last week, they are being sent to dealers this week and there will be a constant stream of tires arriving each week for the next month.
So, if you hear that the 205/50/15 RA-1 doesn't exist call another tire dealer. There should be no reason to expect a tire shortage at this point in time.

I just heard some bad news about this batch of 700 tires. Quality control was seriously compromised in order to get the tires delivered and MANY of them aren't even close to round. When they get shaved, cords surface. One of the main distributors trashed 40 of these oblong tires while attempting to shave them this week.

We received our shipment on Tuesday and started to shave them to fill backorders. We saw no problem with the tires so far.
The tires on the bottom of the load will get distorted and need to sit for a couple days before they can be shaved. We see that everytime we get a new shipment and that is for any brand.
We received enough tires to fill almost all of my backorders and have more in transit that should be here early next week.

My biggest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it!

We're continuing to shave the new RA1's today and have had no trouble with out of round issues. Just the opposite, these are some of the best we've seen.
