While shopping around for tires, I called my local Firestone dealer and was told they are no longer made. The Tire Rack has them on special, so I'd guess the dealer is correct.

$95 [225/60/15] isn't that much of a special

If they get down to $75-$65 that's a special

The last set [2 years ago] of SZ50 non EP were $65 on sale/clearance.

Since the Michelin Pilot H4 [235/60/15] are still $112

15" is really dying fewer and fewer and fewer choices every year that goes by.

I'd buy them if they were less then Yoko AVS dB ($70 each).

Even at $95, I would say they are worth the premium over the AVS dB2 (not S2, with which I don't have any experience). They are that good. And I am very satisfied with my AVS dB2 tires. I just wish they had worn faster. :pface__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45
