I contacted my usual vendor to purchase 3 Kumos Esctas, but they are backordered right now and are not sure how soon they will be able to get them in for my size. I have always been very, very happy with the shaving that Vilven Tire has done and have not heard the best feedback about Tire Rack's shaving.

I've never actually ordered shaved tires from Tire Rack. What is your opinion of their shaved tires? Is there that much of a difference that I should wait till Vilven gets tires in (when ever that will be)?
