Tires L2900 Replacing 7.2-16 R1s???

[Boeing]

"Up the creek without a paddle" 7.2" have been "discontinued" or are on "indefinite backorder"
I need two tires!!! I looked at 7.0's which is the dealers "fix" Diameter is close BUT....a narrower tire can "roll" off the wheel with a loaded FEL and in a turn (I did it once) and the 7.5 is almost 3" more in diameter. That affects the gearing adversely me thinks.
What's a feller to do????
Help

I've searched and clled multiple tire distributers looking for 7.2's. No where. Now, I'm have problems finding 7.0's??
What's up? Were they ALL coming from China????

It's an 8 yo thread. Might be good to start a new one for your issue.
