They're discontinued aren't they? And if so, what you'll find is old stock...

Yup, the only thing you'll find are half-used secondhand tires at this point. They were never actually fully released and supported by Dunlop. It's like they made a huge batch and just gave them to TireRack to unload for super cheap. It was very odd.

Yeah, I know they are discontinued, but figured someone may have ended up w/what tirerack didn't want to carry.

Okay...but what I'm saying is that whatever you find will be a year or more old if that and may not be worth buying anyway.

I found some 225/40 X 17 fronts, new on E-Bay.
Couldn't find any new rears, so bought a used set of 285/35's from a buddy for the AX/TT's
Do a search on E-bay they were still available a couple of weeks ago.
YMMV

Too bad they discontinued them. They are an awesome street tire. I have mine for a year or so, done a couple of K on them , AutoX's, rain , spirited driving and they are the best tire I have had on my 993. They still going on strong, very predictable on the limit, a great tire indeed.

Been hoping for that for over a year now. I originaly was getting them directly from Dunlop, as they were sponsors for our track events, and the tires were not yet available from dealers. TireRack was actually one of the last large dealerships to carry them.

I've got a pair of 225/40/18's, with about 50% tread life left. You want 'em, you can have them. Just pay shipping.

Agreed...and great price. Mine are doing well after two years on the car for street driving.

Default Tires

I have a set with 1000 street miles (no track miles) that I will offer for sale for $400 plus shipping. They are currently on 8" and 10" BBS's from my C2S.

Please respond to ron@stanleyorchards.com

I have two brand new rears(still attached together with stickers on), a full set mounted with about 30-40% wear and a single front extra. Not gonna track the 997 since I crashed the GT3 and would NEVER get insurance to cover anything on track again. They wont fit the M-3 track car so I'm gonna get rid of them.
