This is my rant for the day.
I have been trying for a month now to get ahold of a set of the new MaxLite 8-spoke wheels and the Bighorn Radials. Since my Grizzly and Rincon use the same wheel size/bolt pattern, they'd be interchangeable between the two machines... a nice plus.
So I've been unable to find the wheels because they're on backorder. Always on backorder. Lots of tires and no wheels. So I wait.
Then I find a dealer who has them. I place the order. He calls me a few hours later. "Our distributor was just cleaned out yesterday. Some dealer in Kentucky bought every last set of Bighorns they had." WTF?
So I call up the only dealer I know in Kentucky, ATV Direct. Nope, wasn't them. They say 4-6 weeks backordered on the tires.
I call up ATV North. Now they're out of tires too. They say 3-4 weeks backordered.
This is just fucking great. I finally find wheels and now the Goddamn tires are gone.
I just sent a pretty irate email to Maxxis through their website. I don't expect a response. Most companies this incompetent wouldn't be able to answer a simple email anyway, at least not without some pre-arranged propoganda.
In case you haven't guessed, I'm not a happy camper right now. I'm seriously considering swearing off (and at) Maxxis Products from this point forward.
