I'm not so sure about it. They do not list the SZ50 on their web site anymore. http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/ They used to. Now they only show the SZ50 in a run flat which only has 2 sizes P245/45R17 and P275/40R18.
I am sending them an e-mail asking them about it. I'll post it when I get an answer.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

This looks like the equivalent to the SZ50.
It's the only tire they make in 275/40R17

That's because I think half the board bought them when the price went on sale. I even picked up a set and stuck them in the garage until I wear out the present set. You just waited a little too long bro.Originally posted by TraceZ

I was just pointing out that the size is no longer listed on the website.
You may be right saying they are not stopping production of that tire, but it appears they are making fewer sizes of it now. I really hope I am wrong.
