Love the look! Bigger tires in the rear are cool.

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.
Anyone know when the Hankook rears will be available again?

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.

I just got a complete set last week from tire rack. But I got 245's in the rear.Quote:

The whole point of using the Hankook is they are matching OE sizes.Quote:

Also the speedo may be slightly off. Now I'm making wheel spacers for the front (because of brakes), so I probably could go one size bigger up there. It's done now.Quote:

Availability check:
Tire Rack's site shows this tire model is available to ship from stock in both the F and R OE (matching!) sizes.
Had my new hankook tires mounted today.
All in all not to bad. Had to post some pics of the weights. I was a little worried about how many they would take. I think one of my rims probably broke the record with absolutely no weights. I never seen a perfect wheel balance.
The wheels were perfectly clean so you can probably tell they had a little struggle.
