FWIW, these tires are still available (by special order) from any of the 
nationwide Les Schwab tire shops.   I just bought four of them a couple of 
months ago, and paid $160 each, plus NO shipping.

I saw a full-size Chevy pickup truck in a parking lot the other day, that 
had 15x10 wheels on all four corners, equipped with these tires.   It looked 
pretty tough!   I hope Toyo will keep these things around for awhile.
