Ultimately, I did e-mail Brad, who indicated that the easiest way to source the tire is to go through a car dealer (he said any GM dealer would be able to do it). Separately, I'd contacted Lindsay Cadillac in Alexandria, VA, who apparently had also contacted Brad; they were able to order the tire for me from Maxxis. It should be here in 3-5 days, with a total cost of less than $100.
To sum up, you should be able to get any GM dealer to order the Maxxis tire for you, but if you are having trouble try Lindsay Cadillac.

Sounds like the tire dealers you contacted didn't "want to be bothered." Of course they don't stock the tire, but the dealer here special ordered it out of Texas with no poroblem. I had tried the Cadillac dealer here previously, and they were no help.
