Since when were Ridge Grapplers Hard to Find?

[SKP-4R]

In the market for new tires. Contacted a few of my local shops in the San Diego region and nobody has a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 285 C load. Evan's Tire said there is zero availability west of Arkansas..... I'm sure it's related to COVID-19 (heard their plant in Georgia may be/was shutdown). Has anyone else had this problem or have leads on a set in the SoCal area?

This may or may not be helpful for SoCal but I was able to order a set from TireBuyer on 6/10 and they arrived on 6/11 free shipping. Ridge Grappler 285/70/17 C Load part number 217010.
