I was just wondering why aren't 225/50/17 Dunlop winter sport m3's not on tirerack anymore, I bought some about a month ago and now that size isn't even showing up when I look up dunlop tires. I can understand if they are out of them but shouldn't they have like out of stock by that tire or something? Anyone else by this size from tirerack?

It depends how you look for them - but when a particular winter tire size/model is out of stock, that's it for the entire season. It's not like they will get more in next week!

When tire manufacturers schedule their winter tire production, they estimate how many of each size and model they need for that winter season, and produce them all over a 2 or 3 month period in spring. Once that production run is done, they change over the production line to a different model, and will not produce more winter tires until the next year's production run 10 months later. So, if the M3 225/50-17 is sold out, TR might as well delete the listing entirely for the rest of this winter season, because they will not get any more.
