Well, after trying every possible source in North America for getting some of the Trelleborg tires, I think my ship finally came in!
After multiple calls and e-mails, I talked with a nice lady at the Trelleborg Agricultural Division office who took pity on me, and gave me a good contact. This contact gave me another contact in Dallas who did some checking for me....
Got a call back this morning. Well, apparently Trelleborg in Sweden has received enough interest in the 260/90-13's that they are importing,....1200 of them!
Told my contact that they would be lucky to sell 100 of them between both the U.S. and Canada combined, but he said they must have another reason for bringing them in such numbers. Maybe for a new agricultural product line.
They will be delivered to a distribution warehouse in the Southern U.S. late June to middle of July.
The catch is that the Trelleborg dealers in the U.S. are all wholesale dealers only, selling to farm equipment manufacturers and such. There are no retail outlets....
Well, me being a Texas car dealer, I was accepted as a tire dealer by the Trelleborg wholesale outlet in Dallas.
I'm going to cross my fingers and wait until they arrive. I only wanted six tires, but if this actually happens, there will be more than enough of these tires for everyone who needs them.
Thanks David
