Received this yesterday and thought I'd pass it on. I don't know anything more...

Hello Kent,
Carl King here, rustybore from RUSTYBORE'S TIRE STORE. I wanted to take a few minutes to alert you (and by extension) your fellow club members, that CARLISLE TIRE has gone on a rampage of discontinuing tires. This includes many entire sizes, and many lines.
Already there are many items I can no longer order - and things seem to be moving rather quickly. Its a big country though and discontinued items don't all disappear at once, but I thought a quick heads up would be in order.
Much of these things will not affect Simplicity owners, but some may. For example the STUD style tire on the older RER machines is now history (or will be shortly).
The ENTIRE SUPER LUG line will eventually be gone. Including the popular 23x10.50-12's and the 6-12's for folks who are restoring walk behinds and older models of not only Simplicity, but JD, Cub, Bolens, and others as well.
Carlisle will no longer produce a 4.80-8 ag lug tire in either the Super Lug or the Power Trac. This will affect folks with GRAVELY tractors, and all kinds of walk behind tillers and snow throwers.
Many ATV tires are going, but this is probably no matter to most of your members.
Anyway, please let your members know about this. You can feel free to contact me personally with any specific questions, or you can direct your members to me at this email address or via phone at 800-427-5558.
All the best,
Carl King
