235/75R15 Tires being discontinued?

[koda2000]

I was at my local tire shop today buying a set of tires for my daughter's '00 Mountaineer and the owner told me that the size 235/75R15 is being discontinued/phased out, as only older vehicles use them. Anyone else heard this? Maybe we'll have to buy our tires from Coker Tire in the future.

The 2004-2012 Colorado uses this size, the box Suburbans and Tahoes use this size, I doubt they're being discontinued. HE might be phasing them out, but I highly doubt manufacturers are phasing them out. 2nd gen explorer/mountaineers and box suburban/tahoes alone are a **** ton of vehicles that I still see a lot of on a daily basis.

I see no shortage...

Through my normal tire supplier at all...In fact they seem to offer a better selection than in the past...Even though I use 16" tires on my Ex, there does not appear to be a problem getting that size tire for the Explorer...

Maybe it is time for a new supplier???

Nope. Still tons of these being made, shipped and sold.

Very common size.

Easier to find them than 31x10.5x15..

no excuse

There goes my potential excuse to upgrade my stock 15 inch wheels to 16 inches for a brake upgrade.
