Is anyone else having issues trying to find tires? It seems no one has stock of anything unless it's OEM size.

I'm looking for 37x12.5/17s for the Jeep.

I'm also running into this issue trying to find 35x12.5/20s for my new Superduty.

I'm in Canada. Are you guys in the US having this problem?
There's a national shortage of larger tire sizes. I have a friend with a local shop, and he's had a hard time getting a lot of stuff.

The BFG KO2 AT is still available for next day delivery in my area (California). I got them next day when I ordered late last year.

This was the case for me for the BFG KO2 as well. Ordered via Discount Tire here, and received confirmation of their delivery to my local shop within 6 hours.

Seems still easy at Discount Tire down here.

The good thing I have found with eBay is if you buy from a reputable seller the item will be delivered when estimated and it is almost always in stock, I do not like it when you order from a regular reseller and the take the order but do not have stock and do not provide a solid delivery date.
They sure take your money though, even when they know it is out of stock.

Saw a ton of recommendations on my thread for discount tire. Just ordered a set of 37x12.50R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and Some black rhino Abrams. They are having a flash sale $110 off and 10% Military discount which Netted me over $500 savings on my package. Sweet deal if ya ask me. Had to change something on my order, they quickly fixed it and updated it for me via phone. Recommend so far.

The only issue was it said 2-5 days on the website but upon calling they mentioned it will be 2 weeks but they threw in mounting and balancing. So I aint mad.

I ordered Kanati Trail Hogs 305/70-17s from SimpleTire, and they sent my money back - out of stock. My local Discount doesn't stock them, and Desert Rat only has four and they are over priced.

I wanted the Kanati Trail Hogs, but everyone seems to be out. The Toyo Open Country ATIIIs are my second choice, but TireRack gives them a poor rain rating for some reason, so I'll wait and see, plus they are hundreds more than the Kanatis.

Ever think about Kenda Kleaver RTs? Everyone seems to love em. I had good experience with nitto ridge grapplers on my f150 so I know what to expect. They do get a bit loud eventually tho. I think the kendas on simple tire sale were like $1500 for 4 which ain’t terrible. Def steer clear of k02. They suck in water. Always hydroplaned on my jk.

Check our discount tire. Nothing but good things to say. Also you can try real truck but call them up. They offered me some serious discounts via their off-road dept but the military was cheaper with discount. They had a good stock too but you need to call. When you do mention you were referred and they will give ya more off. If I wasn’t mil vet I’d have gone with them as it was cheaper.

overall you can’t go wrong with either.

Yeah, thanks. I used KO2s on my Tacoma and they were dangerous during our monsoon rains in the SW. I'm ok, my JTR isn't in yet, I was just concerned I wouldn't be able to get tires after it is built.

So I was able to source out 37x12.50/17 BF Goodrich KO2s for my Jeep. I hope I won't regret buying them. I had BF ATs years ago and hated them, but I'm sure they're better today than 25 years ago.

And I ended up going with 35x12.50/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s for the new Superduty Limited I just got. Again, not my first choice but the brands I wanted were not available.

Why not just wait till the tires you wanted were available, the Superduty must have come stock with something pretty decent and close to that size.
