BFG km2 285/70r17 discontinued?
That's what a representative at tire discount direct told me after I noticed that size is no longer on their site, then I checked on tire rack and that size is gone !
Is that even possible ? That size is a popular one

That is a very popular size. I wouldn't think they would discontinue them. I just put an order in for mine at the 4wd parts store near me. the guy told me they were on national backorder, but that mine would be in by mid march.

sometimes the store doesnt get the price they like on the tire and "discontinues" them. but the tire really isnt discontinued, they just arent selling it any more lol. I ran into this same issue with tires for my car. just search else where. I didnt look so I dont konw if thats the case in this situation.
edit: mmmm looked on tirerack, they dont sell that size anymore either.

I called Michelin (who owns BFG) today and this size is NOT discontinued, I am sorry I posted this tread because of an incompetent representative of discount tire direct...
