Where are all the 19.5 inch tires?

In the market for new G-670 245/70R 19.5 inch tires. Reading the posts here, I got the impression that various manufacturers supply/make them.

I've checked various websites:
Goodyear. Michelin, BFGoodrich, Firestone, Toyo. Some do not list my size at all...others list the 245/70 but 19" ...NOT 19.5. TRUCK tires. Not RV tires. 22 inchers up the kazoo...but none for me.

Went to various tire stores. Michelin has none. Out of stock. Can't get them.

The only one that seems to have any is Goodyear. And the prices vary...almost as much as $100/tire! Best price, believe it or not is CW! So, that's what I've done. 3rd set of Goodyears with no problems...can't blame the tire for a 10-penny nail, y'know.....

And the PRICES!!! 8 years ago, 6 tires & 4 shocks: $2700. Complete. I thought THAT was outreageous! This time....just the tires: $3400. Complete (BEST price!)
