No more 35x12.5x15 MTR?

I saw a comment elsewhere that the 35" MTR is no longer available in a 15 wheel size. The Goodyear site seems to confirm this.

That's correct, Goodyear has dropped the 35x12.50R15 MT/R. I searched for one for 7-8 months, pestered mrblaine for one several times, and finally managed to find one at a Discount Tire store in Georgia and they shipped it out here for me for free. I was thankful but I'm bummed that if I shred another I won't find another new one.
 
How much demand is there for 15" wheel size?
Tbh, outside of this forum and some random pre-JK wrangler on the road, i just don't see much
 
I’m surprised they didn’t discontinue 15” tires already, not much demand after the TJ production ended
That is what keeps running through my mind.
I am about to switch from 17s to 15s, but with how things are, i may have to switch back to 17s in 50000 miles
 
Which is precisely why you should have snagged all the ones I've offered. Toss them in garbage bags, throw in some tire restore, and store them over in the corner. You can keep 5 of them in one little 35" circle if you stack them up.
That'd be a good idea if I wasn't leaving CA in 2022. That's why I didn't, we're trying to minimize how much we will have to move.
 
I'll never leave my 33" 12.5x15. If I have to 'Bye Felicia' to GY so be it. I've gone through so many MT BFGs over the years I figured it was probably time I explore other brands. GY won't be one I guess.
 
Wow this is interesting news indeed. I have been on the “which rims” fence for a while. The 16 inch moabs are awesome but I want to eliminate spacers and run a load C, I like 15s better than 17s visually. But I might get cornered by the market.

I could switch away from the MTRs I guess but that’ll require some research
