Does anyone know of any place that actually stocks these?
Thanks for your help.

I checked with our 3 large tire wholesalers and for some reason they dont even show them as a stockable tire. One of them said that tire was recently taken out of thier system.

Not sure whats going on there? Be careful they arent phasing them out in case you buy 4 and need to replace one later

That sucks . I was thinking about getting those myself. I am on the fence, cant decide if I want 315 or 255. Im coming from a 37.

Why don't you like your 37s?

WELCOME TO THE SKINNY TIRE CLUB!!! Try the BFG 255/85r16's. I picked five up from Murf last year and love the tires.

Ugly, mean, efficient, etc.

Well dont get me wrong. 37s make the vehicle a whole bunch more capable in my opinion. My problem is that my rig is still my daily driver and pushing 37s every day got old quick when it came to my gas bill and brake wear. Plus 80s are slow already and when you put 37s on it gets a whole lot worse.

Then again I liked how my truck drove with the mediums up front and heavies in the rear and I am not really that in love with the L and J setup so maybe I am the odd ball out.
