225/45/15 Hankook RS3 source
 
FYI

TR is not the only source for RS3's

Hankook Motorsports dealers can get them too.

webby459 03-29-2010 09:13 AM

There is a thread on m.net regarding this size RS3 is getting difficult to find. Anyone seeing this, or is it just tr that's out of them?

tyson87 03-29-2010 04:18 PM

which one of those has them for less than tireracks prices?

levnubhin 03-29-2010 04:20 PM

I was looking around yesterday, tirerack and tires.com didn't have them in stock.

they had my rs3s in stock when I ordered them....got them like 2 days later...but they are about $10/tire more than Tirerack...but they have them in stock

MicaCeli 03-30-2010 02:31 PM

Discounttiredirect.com is always good. They didn't have my 225 RS3's in stock though. It's a hot tire right now....it even has phlames :giggle: in the tread.

I bought my RS3's from Treadzone and while the tires were slightly more, the shipping was slightly less than TR... ended up being nearly a wash and TZ had them in stock as you said.

With only a couple options in 225/45/15 and the RS3's selling out you'd think another company might jump in the game. I'd love for Nitto to do the Neo Gen in that size for a cheap option.

buffon01 03-31-2010 12:34 AM

Seriously ijust did a quick search and there's nothing but nitos or rs3, any suggestions for 9s

buffon01 03-31-2010 02:01 AM

How tall would 225/50/15s be??? Only $57 each

Store

Rennkafer 03-31-2010 02:29 AM

Here's a couple pics of the height difference between 205/50-15s and 225/50-15s... it's fairly major.

You can see clearly how much the car leans with 225/50 on one side and 205/50 on the other. Clearance was super tight between the tire and front bumper as well with the 225/50s.
