I couldn't find the Hankook ST tires for sale in Denmark, but I came across a different match:
195/60 R14 Nankang Econex 86H NA-1
235/60 R15 Nankang Econex 98S NA-1
And I even found one for the spare:
Continental T125/70R15
Sooo... yeah.
Just wanted to put that out there for anyone else who needs a second option.
Please excuse the crudity of this DeLorean as I didn't have time to repair it yet.

Anyone know when the Hankook rears will be available again?

Walmart has 1 left.
Tire Rack had 1 as of yesterday (for my zip) with more due in later this month.
I would bet good money the vendors all got a nice stockpile but they are most likely reserved for service customers and the cars they sell.

More details around Michael's report...
At the moment TireRack shows rears becoming available starting 19-March.
Fronts showing as in stock.

And while it was 4 or 5 months ago I was able to get a complete set of Kinergy STs in OE sizes from my General Tire retailer fast. Next day availability for the fronts and two days to get the rears. It could be different now - but maybe it's worth a phone call if General Tire is in the area. My local GT shop handles >10 name brand tire lines besides Generals incl. Bridgestone, Yoko, Michelin, Conti, Hankook.

Update:
Tire Rack still didnt have the rears in stock, and showed eta of 5/21. that date seems to continually be moving forward.
Amazon had the fronts and rears instock with free shipping so I ordered them there instead.
