    I believe 24.5’s will surely always be around, although I’m sure they are getting harder to find. So many of the loggers and other guys that go off road a lot almost require a truck to have them. Small town tire shops in logging communities are a good place to check.

    Small town Goodyear shop told me that Goodyear was not going to make any more 11R24.5 for the rest of the year.

    Walked in Purcell tire at Joplin to see how long and how much for 11R 24.5 a few weeks ago. He had several sets from junk to good. I left with Goodyear Marathons. They were the only place in the 4 states area to keep them. Seemed to have plenty

    It’s the same with car tires

    I needed 2 tires for my 2016 3/4 ton Chevy and the Goodyear dealer couldn’t get them .
    But Mavis got them in a couple days .
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    I can get my hands on about 30 of those, 11r 22.5 or 295’s. All have at least 75% drive tread, 8+ years old
     
    Rideandrepair and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Lol. I was joking. I’d never sell tires that old unless they were only used for tire swings.
