help me find 2x 315/55/20 tires in Seattle

Hey guys!
TLDR: help me find 2 315/35/20 tires (any type) in Seattle + tips for my air compressor.

My wife and I are roadtripping from Quebec and we broke down in Seattle a few days ago:

1) Rear air suspension failure: I drove on a rail-crossing and experienced a big shock and the suspensions slowly but surely deflated completely.
I had to drive on it ( yes, I know..i shouldn’t have..)
2) I ordered and changed the 2 air rear bags, to my surprise, none of them were damaged.it wasn’t leaking or even damaged. So I checked my air compressor.
3) I couldn’t hear my compressor pumping so I ordered a new compressor + solenoid and waiting to replace both.

2 problems:

1) When I drove on, despite the air suspension fail, it destroyed the inner part of my tires to the point that I can now see the metal threads, making the car undriveable. So i’m travelling in bus around Seattle and I can’t find a place where they have 2 rear tires 315/35/20 for the car. I’d take winter/summer.
I went to 2 different "Point S’ and "Pep Boys" = can’t have it or even order it.

I still have to check in "Discount Tires" and "Les Schwabs".

2) If I change the compressor + solenoid and the suspension don’t inflate. what should I look for ? the relay ?

So, any help would be appreciated..

Thanks

Are you really looking for 315/55/20? Or did you mean 315/35/20? If the latter, looks like a guy on the local Facebook marketplace is selling a set.

I am still baffled you destroyed your air suspension and ruined you tires by driving over the railroad tracks. How is that possible?

Are you sure the inner thread of your tires wasn't already worn to the point where the steel belts were showing, but you just happened to get under there when your suspension gave out?

What I did notice is that if you peruse Discount Tire Direct, there is often more choice there than on the "regular" Discount Tire website. It's how I was able to get a fresh set of 21" MPSS tires. Tire Rack and Discount Tire were both showing them out of stock, but Discount Tire Direct had them.
