Goodyear TT = GoodYear Trible Tred
I believe they updated the name to:
Assurance Trible Tred

As for getting a tire not available in your area. Just go to online.
I order my Hankook through Walmart online and delivered to my home.

Went to darkside this year too.

That's a very limited version which leaves tracks that can only be seen my members of the Shawnee and Arapaho and Blackfoot nations. There's a similarly named anti-flat self repairing version made from small furry alien life forms. Very expensive. Unwashed masses get the Good Year TripleTred.

Ah, yes.
Naugahyde.
Whatever happened to all those little Naugas? They were so damn cute.
Did we make them go extinct, or did they simply go back where they came from?

Zackly!
 
counldn't source any of the tires I found listed here that would fit. I am in Newfoundland, Canada, shipping costs prevent tire purchase online. I sourced 2 Canadian Tire branded tires that look more rounded at the edges. I plan to buy the 2 tires, 205/50r17, size them up, and return one. I will post photos of the process in case others are curious.
 
Got a dark side tire mounted. Can't get it to set. At 105lbs. I'm scared it will blow up. What do I do now?

I have been running dark-side for almost 200,000 miles now and I have never had a dark-side tire pop the way a MC tire will. They do seal around the bead without the pop. I have never put more then 50psi in the tire when I mount them and then readjust the psi after the wheel is remounted. I run 26psi in my rear tire.

That is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. Thank you so much for the reply. I left 50 pounds in it last night, if it still has 50 lbs in it tonight, I will consider it done and I will go ahead and mount it. Just to be clear, I should let all the air out before I attempt to slide it in past the swing arm with plastic on both sides? Then air it up to 26psi?
 
Yes, deflate to install. Before installing, visually inspect around the bead/rim making sure the tire seated evenly all around. Once installed and inflated, spin the wheel and visually check that it isn't out of round.
