ALL BFGs that I have run, from 235s to 295s, only have traction for the first summer.
after that they get into a harder compound, and they last for years. But they no longer have much for traction. So, to combat that lack of traction, I highly recommend to run as much rubber as the tubs will accept, which, on a Duster, is likely to be one of 235/60-14 or 235/50-15s on the front, and 275s on the back, unless you move the springs over, then 295s.

I didn't see where he was asking about traction. He is wondering why only a few manufacturers make 245/60's.
14" tires are becoming a thing of the past. Check Coker
Especially an oddball size like 245/60's. Everybody runs 255's. (15's)

My rears are 245, but 15". A member on here reached out to me, he has 15" sbp but they are 275....approx 1.5" taller.
If op wants 14" he may as well go 13" or wooden "wheels"

14s have been disappearing for decades. If you don't want to change to 15s or 17s, you'd better get any wide (short of a couple 14" bias street/drag tire) 14s you can find. 245s are the widest available I know of.
It's simply because there's very little demand.

Tire size says there are no 255-14s (reason? 14s).
Probably. I was thinking 15"s. 245's but not 255's in 14"
I run BFG 245/60/15 on rear. Still available (for now lol)
I've never in my life seen a 255 60 14.
Read post #9 and 10

I remember way, WAY back when, I had a pair of M60x14s on ten inch snowflake rims.
I haven't seen a 14 inch tire that wide in thirty or forty years!

I was hoping M/T had some but no 14's.
Yeah I end up buying BF goodrich brand
It's a shame that's about all we have to choose from. I sure wish Goodyear would bring back the Eagle ST.
Yeah I agree it would be so cool if they re issue L60 series.
