I'm in the same boat, I like the WTB tires a lot, but they are difficult to find in shops. Most shops around here either carry OEM brands like Bontrager or Specialized, and Maxxis. The one shop that carried WTB quit stocking them because they sold so slowly. It's a shame, because they are great tires, but everyone seems to stick with what they know and not really branch out.
I end up buying them online, as a result, which is sometimes inconvenient when I get anxiety about the wear on my tire and want to replace it right away, but I've gotten a little better about planning for that.
I do wish they had a more intermediate tire between the fast rolling, fast wearing Trail Boss 2.4 and the porky Judge options. When the weather turns, I find myself heading back to a DHRII in the rear mainly for the weight savings.
