No, It's been a few years now since they quit.

They have a replacement out which has a totally different look/ a whole lot less traditional.

Some of the dirt Sprint Car tires we used were HUGE - as in, not going in anything that won't take at least a 14 x 32 - but yes, there are several sizes.
Longevity, though: we'd burn a couple sets up every event, if we ran enough, though they'd still be useful outside of getting max grip from them.
Back in the late '60s, some guys ran "Indy tires" on the street if they had room for them - and if they didn't have room, they'd jack the car up for that goofy Hot Wheels look.

hey, i resemble that remark ! laugh2
not sure where i got them, but they were 15" wide, and a little on the short side, diameter wise.
still had to raise the car some, and they stuck out, as the pictures show. [taken at NU-BE drag strip in the mid 70's]
those things were hard, and traction was non-existent, street or strip.
i sold them to someone local, and i saw them again about 10 or 15 years ago, still in his garage.

Goodyear bought them a couple years ago right? They will be gone completely some day. Just like so many others. Accel was another I miss.

M/T isnt going anywhere, at least anytime soon. Two different niches in the tire business. As for what they carry contact a distributor, they still carry alot of tires not on the site. I imagine one day they will get that fixed too.
