Hankook R-S2s on closeout at Tirerack... - The Ford Focus Forum

**Nliiitend1** · 10-22-2009, 01:44 PM

They're being discontinued since the new R-S3 is out, and are going for so little in my size ($89/tire 235/40R18) that I might have to pick up a set even though my NT-05s are barely broken in at this point:

Thanks-just ordered!

**BJ@Tirerack.com** · 10-22-2009, 03:48 PM

Our stock is starting to get low on a lot of these sizes. I'd order quickly if you plan to.

Rallyrs, what size did you grab for these?

I saw you order this morning. Tires are in stock and will ship out today!

Thanks!

I SO wish you had a set in 245/45/18... I would have ordered them already.

any chance you have a set around there BJ?

Sorry but none in that size and nothing close actually. 235/40R18 is the biggest 18" size left. I don't think they even made the RS-2 in that 245/45R18 size actually.

Thanks for looking... I'm in the market for tires, and well, that tire at a bangin price would be most excellent.

It's for the G8 GT, by the way.

I have a single 195/65R14 if anyone wants it...just pay for shipping...its brand new, still has label...

I like the "fewer than two" in stock, I'm guessing that means one?

It sure does! You wouldn't believe how many calls we get asking if we have 4 available! I don't know why they word it like that but wish they'd just say, "We have one in stock."

**DisrupTer911** · 10-29-2009, 01:49 PM

darn! no 215/45/18s for my C30

and i'm pretty sure a 235/40/18 is WAY to wide lol

What size wheels does the C30 have?

I'm running a 235/40/18 on 18x8s, and I'd go so far as to say I'd probably even run this size on 18x7.5s, even though the "recommended" wheel width is 8"-9.5"...

I don't know that it'd be ideal, but I'm pretty sure it would work out OK.

**bigdaddyzx3** · 10-29-2009, 02:13 PM

The largest ones they have are just a little small for my application, or I'd have already made the purchase.
