You do realize why they are on backorder right?
MT/R's stopped production several months ago. The only ones available are the leftovers in the warehouses.
I'd start shopping for a different tire, those are gonna be hard to come by.
There is no expected build date for more. Discount tire has over 1000 on backorder with no expected ship date (as of 12 May). Summit shows them in stock and tirerack.com shows low stock for anything above 31's and backorder above 33's. From what I've gathered from a good friend who sells tires for a living, if you don't have them, learn to live without them.
There was rumor that they were going to redesign when they put them back into production, but that's just a rumor. Goodyear did shut down one of it's tire plants and with the cut in tire production, they quit producing tires that were considered expensive which is the category the MTR definitely fits in.
On a funny note, I've noticed that we no longer are getting Goodyear aircraft tires here, we're only getting Michelin's where in the past we've primarily used Goodyears.
I know several folks running the Firestone Destination M/T, and they love it. Currently it's rated the highest in Maximum traction tires on tirerack.com.
