H3 Seeks Discontinued Goodyear Wrangler Duratrak in 305 - Suggestions

[Daytona]

Live and learn I guess. Bought some "on sale and in stock" Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac 305/70-16 last year from Fountain Tire and didn't pick up a spare at the time for a variety of stupid reasons.

This year I started taking the rig off road, and we are now planning on showing up in Moab for the Black Sheep run in October. Using my mighty brain I figured a spare might be a good idea.

To my complete surprise, not only is this size discontinued by Goodyear but none of the major tire sellers in Canada or the USA have any old stock for sale.

Anybody got any suggestions? I guess I could get an MT in 305 size or a DuraTrac in 295... but either way is spending two-fiddy on a miss match - my OCD is flaring up just thinking about it.

Thanks Scoreh3 - the problem with this site, and others, is that they list something promising and then when you phone - sold out. As it happened I phoned these guys earlier this morning because I thought "Yes! Found it!" only to be told - "Oh yeah, you're right... this tire is discontinued and their is no availability at any of our locations or distributors."

My other big strike out was Canadian Tire - I actually bought the tire online and they emailed 4 days later to say... "sorry, here's your refund"

Go talk to your local store, tell them you have a flat and one tire. All mfg's have some stock that's not available in normal stock for such cases, may be some left, may not be, but this is the only way you'll find one, other than someone having dead stock

thanks click... yeah, I'm already into the hoping for dead stock option... played the local shop and dealership relationship cards. The only thing I havent tried is calling Goodyeqr directly.

Sorry about that . You should go up on race-rezert.com and ask if anyone has one . A lot of racers buy and sell stuff they don't need anymore .
