Issue is that there are like 30 companies that sell tires, but only five who actually make them, and several are owned bt each other, etc. So the major tire manufacturer in the US is in finanacial trouble and consolidating plants so yes there are a lot of popular size tires that are out of stock right now.
Don't know who you have talked to in the Springs, Discount Tire, Predator, Big O, 4-Wheel Parts? The reason I ask is that the chains, Discount, Big O and 4-Wheel Parts all have to pull from their warehouse. Predator and other independents buy from tire wholesalers and I have been able to get tires from them when the chains are out of stock.
Personally I like BFG Goodrich tires, and if you are considering them you may want to check out AAFES as well, they won't have them in stock, but they can order them.
