TireRack has more in stock so better hurry up...I just ordered a set of 205/45/16 and 245/40/17.
Call them instead of checking the website. If you want someone specific to talk to, dial 800 -428-8355 ext. 362 and talk to Luke. He is a good guy and will do the best he can, and their computers show stuff that the website doesn't.They appear to be out of stock on the 205/45/16I was about to order another set. One thing to note, the tires say "2005 Production". I don't know if that means the tires were manufactured then, or if it was an 05 design. I know these tires are very soft (I have a set) and I can imagine them getting brittle or decomposing a bit in that time.
Also, heres what I paid in 07:
2 205/45ZR-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R In Stock $152.00 $304.00
2 245/40ZR-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R In Stock $165.00 $330.00
Thanks. I didn't think to ask about the production dates. We'll see what I end up with. My price was less than the prices quoted here, so they're likely older tires. Oh, well - this was an experiment, and I may get what I paid for - half-priced tires.205/45-16 and 245/40-17 will be fine.
That's just a good excuse to burn them up quicker! :shift: :clap:Thanks. I didn't think to ask about the production dates. We'll see what I end up with.

As with my misadventures with Porterfield R4-S brake pads, brittle tires will only give me something on which to blame my off-track excursions other than my lack of skill. Yeah, excuses!That's just a good excuse to burn them up quicker! :shift: :clap:
