Why no 275/50/15 street tires ?

Why doesnt anyone make 275/50/15 street tires any more. there are plenty of drag radial choices in this size

I have a set of BFG drag radials in this size that are at the end of their rope and was going going to get a set of regular radials but no where to be found.

I think it is a few reasons, mainly being that most new vehicles have 16, 17, or bigger rims now. That is a very common size still but in the bigger rim...

I agree. The market just isn't there when there aren't a lot of cars out there needing that size. The DR/Slick market is there, but not the street tire. You still see 15" wheels a little bit on cars, but those are usually WAY smaller than 275.
