Called Longleaf... He said there's only one distributer bringing them to the U.S. &
He has no idea when they'll get more in.
I'm guessing it's because 590 is not a popular size rather than anything to do with the
earthquake, because 650B tires are easy to get.

Didn't realize how hard it was going to be finding good quality 650A rubber.
Panaracers, Schwalbe, & even Michelin World Tours are all -OUT OF STOCK

I wanted "nothing but the best" for this Raleigh,but it looks like el cheapo tires for it
until the hipsters decide 650A is the new "in" tire.
