Need a size for TS810 winter tires

[darksparkz]

I currently have two ContiWinterContact TS810 tires, and I need to get two more in the size of 205/65/15, on the tirerack website, it doesn't show that there's anymore in stock. Any idea if this is just a stock error?

I do have several of the H rated available in our Nevada warehouse at 86 dollars per tire. These may not be showing on the site since we will not see additional stock for this season. Send me a PM or give me a call at extension 663 to discuss the details.

Thanks a lot for telling me they were still in stock. I had a uncle who owns a performance parts shop order it, and the phone person said it was out of stock, but as soon as I said nevada, they found it.

Also, I just thought about this, should tire air pressure be measured when its mounted onto the car? Because most tire shops add their 30 or 32 psi to the tire when it's on the tire clamp machine. for 205/65/15 on a 97 Camry, best is 32psi when it's mounted onto the car right?

Last question, do you know how long the break-in period is for these TS810? Should I just drive slow and steady until a certain amount of mileage?

It wouldn't matter much in regards to when or where the air was put in the tire. You should check the pressure in the morning before driving and before the sun has a chance to raise the tires temp. This would allow for the most accurate readings and settings. Break in periods for the tire should consists of roughly 500 miles to allow the mold release to be worn off the tread. The links below will go into further detail.
