So hopefully you never get a flat with the GTS Stock Dunlops. Apparently they are harder to find than a needle in a haystack. I was to Firestone, Pepboys, Sears and *GASP* the Dealer and not one of them could even get anything in the
215-45-18. Had to order from tire rack and now without the car for a good 3-5 days. Awesome

 

Strange I had a nail cause a leak in mine about a month ago and Canadian Tire had it fixe dup and ready to pick up within an hour.

 

I had Discount Tire say the same thing about the Yokos that came on the OZ. Said they'd have to order them from the dealership @ $200+ per tire. Needless to say I went with a similar tire...actaully a Goodyear with with better temp, traction, etc ratings. Oh well...

 

I get 215/40/17 at discount tire and firestone... wal mart and places like that wont have it.

 

Yep its just that 214/45/18 is not widely used I guess. The only people that even could get another brand was firestone at 300+ per tire. Uh, No thanks. But Tire Rack saves the day at $125 and 2 day shipping

 

Link to said 214/45/18s plz!

 

Thats because they probably just plugged the tire, since they knew where the leak was, rather than installing a whole new tire.

 

I got a nail in mine the frist week I had it and Had to get a New tire, I got it from tirerack.com and it got to my house in 3 days, then took it to my dealer and they put it on FREE for me

 

Well yeah thats what I meant. the way the original poster worded it, i thought he was referring to the leak being hard to find rather than the tire itself. I dont think I've seen the 5000M's around in stores either, so I would imagine tirerack is probably the only way to go unless you want to switch all 4 around for a different brand.

 

hey if anyone is looking I plan on putting 4 winter tires on the stock wheels and selling the 4 dunlops so if your interested PM me.
