Default Need help finding tires locally

I'm trying to find some 165/50-15 tires, i've called about 7 stores and no one has them or said they cant get them. Anyone know of any places that i can get this size locally?

I can't even find a brand that makes a tire in that size. I've checked off brands too. Is there another size the wheel can wear?

Holy fuck. $150 for some tiny ass shitty tires? Thats dumb as fuck. Grippy as fuck street tires don't even cost that much in 15s.

Usually the odd sizes are more expensive than they should be because they know your options are limited.

Or more likely it's just production volume..

When there are two possible reasons for pricing, the sinister one is always the one to believe.
