Where i can buy Hankook RS2's?

[Redfrog]

I am looking for Hankook RS2's for my MR2. I can't find those in Finland, but i can buy those from UK,
as the shipping isn't too much. Can you recommend some place from UK where i should ask those tires?
I am looking for 205/45-16 and 225/45-16, if that matters.

Thanks, i will.

Camskill replied to me: "The RS2 has be phased out", so i have to find another alternative. R1R might be good, but i am little bit worried about the rain with those tyres, and those are quite expensive (and i guess those won't live long). Does anyone have any other recommendations? I have 16" Wheels (7"/8" Enkei RPF1's), and i am looking for something like 205/(40-45)-16 and 225-235/(40-45)-16 sizes. RS3 doesn't come in the sizes that i would like to buy.

Yes, i have seen it, thanks. i will buy the R1R's.

If somebody is interested, i made some weight calculations;
Original 15" wheels (27 kg), original wheel nuts (1,232 kg), original tyres (35,9 kg) = total is 64,132 kg
New Enkei RPF1 16x7 and 16x8 wheels (25,8 kg), new duraluminum nuts (0,36 kg) , Toyo R1R's 205/45-16&225/45-16, which i haven't bought yet, (33 kg) = total is 59,16 kg

Difference is -4,972 kg although the wheels&tyres are bigger and wider.
It's not massive amount away from the total mass of the car,
but it's (i can't remember the correct term in english, sorry, somebody help me  s:) s:) ) a lot to get away from _there_.

The term was unsprung mass.

64,000 KG is one hell of a weight - 64 tonne, better to use a dot which will make it correct or stick to grams it should be 64.132 kg or 64,132 g,   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  
I have a similar weight saving with my Rota, plus my shocks are inverted so my unsprung weight as come down and you can feel it, especially going over bumps etc.

I guess you got the point anyway.. s:) s:)
