Default BFG AT Help!

Anyone know a place to get a BFG AT KO in 33x10.5x15?

NOT KO2.

I bought 4 brand new KO's in March, put 1500mi in them, then parked the jeep for upgrades. Since then apparently they've become obsolete and replaced with the newer KO2.

Now that I have a rear tire carrier I'd like to get a brand new full size spare of the same tire type, but can't find one anywhere online, only the newer KO2. I actually rotate my spare into my driving tires so getting a KO2 won't work for me.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I just bought the KO2's at discount tire and they had an option for the KO's. Give them a shot!

IF they have it in stock. 33x10.5 was a hard size to find to begin with, now that they're phased out for the KO2..

I'll call tomorrow though and see!

Not in stock at tire rack, and I'm willing to bet not in stock at discount tire too. I've searched for hours online, I'm very comp literate, I didn't just check the first page of Google and call it quits.

I've even called some of the online companies to see if maybe they have any old stock. No luck.

I'm calling 2 more tomorrow, otherwise I'll just have to keep an eye on eBay

Buy it from the next state and have them throw it on a Grayhound for you, just tell them C.O.D. for shipping. I have had parts sent to me that way, cheaper than a day off work plus fuel etc..

I checked Walmart online the other day and they are out of stock.

Mavis called back today saying they were able to find it and that I should have it tomorrow or Friday. Hopefully they understood I need the KO, but since he said there were only a couple nationwide for their stores I'm assuming it's the right one.

I don't know if you can still find them but I bought mine off eBay. Same size as yours.

I've checked everywhere, I mean everywhere. CL, eBay, every online site, even the sketchy looking ones. I'm hoping the tire coming from Mavis is the correct one.
