my tires are on national backorder now what?

[INSIDIOUS '86]

was looking to get some 295/50r16 for the rear on my truck but loe and behold they are on NATIONAL backorder so i have 275/50r16's but they dont make that size anymore

anybody have any ideas, no japanese tire companys only american for this rig

im looking at some drag radials i know its not the best choice for a d/d considering winter is here in the nw but the competition t/a's from what i understand are the early version of drag radials

tell me what you guys think i should do? i dont want a smaller tire at all. im already running legaly bald

What brand of tire, do you want? If you can find them, the Mastercraft tire line is made by the same company that makes Cooper Tires and the wearability is outstanding.

I say get some 15x8 rallys and run a 275/60/15 tire. 16" is kind of an oddball size especially for a tire that looks good on a truck.

my band is usa. i will look into them and see what i can find

if tires only last me a year to year and a half im ok with that, just not sure if drag radials will

edit: mastercraft does not sell a wheel bigger than a 245 series for sixteens, thats to small for my wide rim

Nothing wrong with some Hookin' Hoosiers.
