My understanding is that all the major tire companies plan to have slicks out by cactus. AKA is about to drop some, proline has theirs out and JC...well they completely dropped the ball and under ordered. I am sure their team drivers will have some for cactus, but the rest may suffer. Proline seems to have stepped up and is pumping them out. I am told AKA will have theirs out soon.
