Continental's "Giro" tire is currently out of stock.
The next shipment is scheduled for mid-August,
but since it's been out of stock since mid-June, it'll take about 2 months.
The Giro stock we had before was all old label with the non-removable valve core type,
but the Giro tires that customers bring in from purchasing elsewhere
have already been the new label with removable valve core type for about a year now.
Since this old Giro and new Giro have the exact same product code on the box,
it's not that we're special-ordering a non-removable valve core Giro as a Japan-specific model—
it's just that the distributor's inventory renewal
is taking about a year due to the specification change.
If my prediction is correct, the next shipment of Giro
should be the new label with removable valve core type,
which will make it easier to sell as the cheapest mid-valve tire option.
Currently, Vittoria Strada fits that category,
but either way, Lion Tire will be the clear winner.
