Just wondering if anyone else here has experienced this or knows about it.

Discount tire told me nationwide out of stock on 37x12.50x17 Nitto Trail Grappler.

Just want to examine all my options before looking for an alternative or just taking his word for it. So far 4wheel parts wholesalers didn't have any on their website and Tire Rack appears not to sell Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Custom offsets shows "4-8 weeks national backorder" on those tires also.

It's a darn good tire, love my 35s. Would love to run them in a 37 once these are worn out.

Might be related to the fact that BD and SBR (used to make tires) is in short supply due to 80+% of production being shut down by the deep freeze a couple of weeks back. This might impact more than just Nitto tires. I heard folks were air lifting rubber in from Asia at very high prices due to the shortage.

Simple Tire has Toyo Open Country M/Ts & R/Ts in that size. Might be wrong, but wouldn't they probably come from the same plant? Only Nitto available is the Terra Gappler.

I tried to order 5 37x12.5x17 Cooper STT Pros from Discount and was told they're on a 6-8 week backorder but I was able to get the same size Trail Grappler. They should be here Saturday. 🤷‍♂️
