Default BFG KM2's Discontinued!

Went to discount tire today and they told me they were discontinued. After looking to Jeepforum for answers I found its not just me stores all over are telling people they are discontinued.

I have no idea why BFG would do this.

Just called BFG.. They are discontinuing certain size KM and KM2's, however they are re-releasing a NEW tread design in those sizes in Sept.. So they are going away.. As an example the 33x12.5x15 KM2 will discontinue its tread pattern to be replaced by the 33x12.5x15 KM2 in a "better and improved" tread design...
