George, were the 31x13 radials number D4459? I think I got the last set from the best little speed shop in Michigan City.
As for the 1909s, In the winter of 2010 I was looking for a set to use on a new car project. I was told that they were on hold until the got fifty orders for tires, then they would make them. I got tired of waiting and calling and finally in the fall of 2010 I ordered some M/T tires and had them the next day.
We don't sell many so we don't have any inventory and we don't have any inventory so we don't sell many. Sounds self defeating to me. If i go to a steakhouse they better have a steak there for me I will go someplace else and not come back. I don't think most of us are managing their tire inventory and looking six months out. When I need new tires, I need them NOW.
I'm getting ready to buy another set of slicks for a stick shift stocker, not getting good answers back yet from Goodyear. Don't they want my money? Oh yeah and I bought the "these radials are just for stick cars" set a few years ago. They sit in a corner of my shop with the rest of the things that don't work. Ok, I got that off my chest.
