Default Why do Tire Companies Discontinue tires so quickly?

I just today had to get 2 rear tires and the Goodyear Eagle GTHR that I had are discontinued. And there aren't very many tires in my size =/
I believe I have the 55 Option on my Camaro.
What brand are you other guys running of that size?
P235/55/R16

Thanks

Probably because they weren't profitable. If you're not making money on a product, why keep selling it?

What I meant to ask was why do they discontinue them so quickly?
That was my fault.

Thank You for that link.

Unfortunately , I'm low on cash so a new set of 4 will have to wait; I'm just skimming by with buying 2.
