Got a call from the site I ordered a single Federal 195/80R15 tire from. They tell me there was a mix up on the site, so they cancelled my order - but they were still shipping the tire out and it would be here in a few days. Checked the site later and the tires are listed as out of stock.
A couple days pass, and I get an email saying payment was refunded. And now literally NOBODY in the U.S. has these tires in stock. FML. This is not the first time this has happened to me when finding tires, or even the second time. These were literally the only tires in this size “available” in the U.S. - nothing wider is going to fit. I’m going to try calling the distributor to see if they will be sending any more out in the future, but this may just be another tire size Americans aren’t allowed, while the rest of the world gets everything good.
PS: before anybody tries to help, I was specifically searching for all-terrain tires for the Baja Saab project. I don’t need any help sourcing tires in the stock sizes, I got plenty of those.

Easy!
step one: locate city/nation where Fedima tires are available
step two: Oppo plea for someone in that city
step three: paypal Oppo-mate $$ in exchange for buying and re-shipping tires to you!
step four: do donuts in the sand, post pics on Oppo
step five: profit!
seriously, good luck and think about creative solutions... like a weekend vacation to Portugal?

Update: looks like Fedima tires are available in the UK... anyone across the pond willing to work with Berang on a procurement and logistics problem?

I’d contact someone like these guys: https://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/fedima
and see if they can ship them to you. Might cost a few extra $, but you get what you want from a reputable dealer

I found somebody else who seemingly also shipped worldwide from the EU, but unsure how bad shipping costs will end up compared the US-sourced tyres. Don’t any of the big offroad companies have anything suitable?
