Yup I went to buy a set and the local tire guy told me sorry discontinued!...So now what? anyone heard anything. I was running them on my truck but then I switched to 325/50/15 in a Mickey Thompson Drag Radial so I sold them. Now my son and I want to put a set on his truck and....Yup they were right ....Nothing lasts forever...

I havent seen any but i picked up a brand new pair on craigslist for $50, still had the shipping papers and info stickers on them

Yeah man, it sucks. They've been gone for quite a while. My 295/50/15's are ElDorado's -- I know, not as cool as BFG, but they have been pretty decent. The back ones are wearing out much faster than the fronts though.

Just got a email back from BFG and they said and I quote:

You expressed interest in the BFGoodrich Radial T/A in size P295/50R15
(Model Number 53415).

Although this tire is on backorder, it is not discontinued. These tires
should become available for wholesalers and retailers to order during the
first quarter (Jan/Feb) of next year. We apologize for the delay.

Looks like TireRack still sells them.

Hmm, what about 305 50 15s? I ran those on my 69 LeMans with 15 x 8 Cragar Street Stars back in the day. Those gone too?
