Default Sourcing Goodyear 285/45/R20 runflats?

Has anyone recently purchased the Goodyear 285/45/R20 RFT tires? They seem to have gone out of stock everywhere including Goodyear itself. I ordered from their website and they immediately called me back and said its not avail and there is no backorder date.

I can't seem to find them online and all the tire shops near me can't get them. I got my last set for Sam's Club.

I'm on my second set of these goodyears. I've done about 35-40K on each set. I don't want the Pirelli's because I want them to last longer and the non-runflats are a non starter because of the lack of a spare and the roadside assistance is a joke. I've gotten 3 flats already. These larger sized tires seem to be nail magnets.

thx!

check Ebay. I bought 3 used ones in great condition.
If you have any wear issues such as pieces chunked off, Goodyear customer service will help you get a new one at a prorated price.

The Bridgestone's are what I am running. Very satisfied so far after about 7k miles
Good luck in your choice
