I knew the day would come. Too many OEM plus size tires these days and not enough good 15" casings I suppose. Better buy some 22's quick...

I asked them why they didn't bring back the 33's because I don't know that tire to go with and that is what I find out.

Other than some smaller cars, even then not many, pretty much all wheels are 16"+ on new vehicles.
As far as not making anymore, I would believe that it would be harder to find good casings to use. Pick up some cheap 16" wheels and pick up some re-treads. Or, just buy brand new tires.

This. Sucks but knew it would come. Was planning on getting 16s or 17s anyway.

Nothing wrong with retreads. You drive past God only knows how many a day on semi trucks.

I figure if retreads are good enough for the airlines to use on their planes, and most trucks run them.Then thats good enough for me run them

Youre talking about tires that are abused and go through their life with thousands of pounds on them their whole life.
