Hankook RS3 winter 2014-15 availability?
I logged onto tirerack and noticed that they do not list 225/45-15 as a valid size for the RS3 (v2).
Is this something that happens every winter? When should I expect tires to be back in stock? I wish I would have known because I have 6ul's arriving in January/February :(

A) Hankook is dropping the size. Not likely
B) There is an entirely new tire model on the way Q1~Q2/15. I find this more likely.
In the world of performance tires, manufacturers make more profit per kilogram of raw materials/labor on larger diameter tires. Thus, if production capacity is limited (it is), they'll always favor the larger diameter sizes over our poverty 15's.

good luck
The last info I got from TR was that the 225 Rivals aren't even going to be available until late spring or summer.

I just heard the rs3 v. 2 are not listed as back ordered but are being listed as discontinued in the 225/45/15 at different vendors and only the BFG is on back order in that size. anyone know if this is true?
makes me think about emilio's comments

So I am in a bit of a predicament. I have two bad RS3 that need replacing and two good ones (over 80% thread left) on my 15x9 6ULs. I have a couple track days at the end of this month and early next month so I need something asap.
Any recommendations?
-Run two NT01 and two RS3.
-Mount 4 new NT01 and buy a new pair of RS3s when they come in stock to complete the set and mount when I burn through the NT01s
-Other options?
