Hankook RS3s?

[jprice130]

Any of you street touring folks shopping for RS3s this season?  I've been looking for 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 RS3s and noticed that TireRack doesn't even have these sizes listed on their website anymore.  I also called Discount Tire and they called Hankook and didn't have an ETA for these tires at all.  

The season is approaching fast and I need some tires!  Even the Rivals have limited availability on TireRack in the 245/40/17 size and they won't be getting more until early March.  Hopefully the supply of Z2s doesn't dry out before my tax return!

According to friends at TireRack the RS-3 is no more and a replacement might not be here until March or April and they are not sure if it will be the RS-4 or what designation.

Thanks for the inside info Anthony. I don't think I'll be able to wait for whatever Hankook has in store for an RS-4 or whatever they will call their next tire. I guess I'll be picking up some Z2s.

That's past the point of eligibility for nationals, right?
