Cant find 280/40/20 rear tire

[Mr4500dodge]

First off want to say its been too long since I've been on here. EHC took a crap back last May and has been a crazy year since. New ESC will be here this week, but I am now having a problem of finding a new rear tire? I have read that Avon has discontinued the 280/40/20? Can this be so??? Really starting to think that I'm not meant to get the bike back on the road again.:bang::bang:

Thanks Brew and Kaptin. That's all I'm coming up with too as all are showing up in the UK or Germany. Guess I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and pay the .64 on every dollar extra to get it. Hope somebody picks up this size soon for production again.

I hope this helps you out. I have a replacement that will need to be mounted this summer but now I need to start looking for a back up for that one so.......Avon needs to get their manufacturing S#!T together.
