HoserRacing Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 OK, have I just turned into a complete idiot, or have manufacturers stopped making 245/40/15 tires? Started looking for a set for next season, and not saying anything at Tire Rack for the Hankooks. Try to couple of other sources, the only thing I found were the Rivals. Not a huge fan, anyone else have anything they are running in that size with good experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55mini Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Tire Rack sold out for the season and when Hankook decides to ship again they will have them, same drill every year. They normally have them in late march or early april. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronh911 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 It’s been like this with RS3/RS4s for at least 5 years. We stock up on them in late October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needing a wider set for the 944 I'm racing with, wider is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Huggy is going to get the 7/32nds set. Let me get a better look at the 5/32nds set for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that doesnt exist. Chickens don't have teeth. Therefore, something rare. Like Hankook 245/40/15's, which hankook cant seem to figure out are in HIGH demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoserRacing Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Southern saying, when something's hard to find, you say it's harder to find than hen's teeth, which don't exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyKid Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Here is the hodgepodge set: 2 x 6/32 - 7/32 - 2018 Date Code 1 x 6/32 - Small Flat Spot - 2018 Date Code 1 x 6/32 - Groove from rubbing fender - 2018 Date Code Pictures below. I will see just the two with no issues. Tyler is also not interested in the 8-10 lapday set. That has 2017 date codes and 5/32nds to 6/32nds of tread. The 7/32nds set is sold.

Is “learn me” another southern thing? Most people would say “teach me”, but I have seen “learn me” written a few times on this forum.

HoserRacing Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not in the broad sense, no; I believe it's more of a regional thing that has been affected by people just trying to be goofy. It is interesting how certain areas have sayings that can be completely foreign to other parts of the state, region or country. I heard someone use the phrase "Upright and sniffing the air" when asked how they were, and I throw that out occasionally myself now. Not sure where they got it, and I get weird looks sometimes when I use it, but haven't tried running down the origin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be pedantic, they do have one tooth very early in life but it disappears quite quickly. Hence, the use of that phrase in relation to 245/40-25 tires seems very apropos.
