32-11.50-15 Goodrich all terrains

[5440Bronco]

Anyone know what's really going on with the future and availability of the 32-11.50-15 BFG all terrain tires? I've talked to numerous tire shops here in So. Cal and am hearing different stories. From this size is discontinued to they are on back order for the entire country and may be available in 6-8 weeks. Just curious if others are getting similar responses.

Not sure if they're in stock or not, but Tire Rack still lists them as available.....

For the last few years its been a common issue for a lot of offroad tires. Seems the availibility is lower and the price of rubber has gone up. The rubber industry is a lot like the oil industry its controlled by a few companies.
For the most part I think that 32x11.50's are kind of a fill the gap tire if you cant get 31x10.50 or 33x12.50 then 32's are what your left with.

Thanks for the feed back and info. I'm running Michelin 32-11.50's now and they seem like a good fit. I don't think I can fit the 33's and didn't want to drop down to the 31's. I'll keep searching and see what I come up with.

Exactly why I'm running those on my F150, widest tire you can run without hitting the control arms on a factory wheel.

Did you find any 5440? I'll be looking for the same tires soon.

Best I have so far is that this size is being manufactured and will arrive to the tire stores sometime in October.

Thanks Nyles. I've been keeping a real close eye on Craigslist and jumped on an opportunity this afternoon. I caught a fresh listing on the 32-11.50-15 size Goodrich A/T's I was looking for. Someone had an equal need for cash as much as I had for a need on the tires. The tires had about 75-80 % left on them and had been taken pretty good care of. Next stop, the tire shop, to have them mounted on a set of new American Eagle alloys.
