Default HELP..Anyone with tire connections?

Need serious help to save my summer driving. I need a pair of
18" CONTINENTAL SPORT CONTACT N2 225/40ZR18 TIRES
TireRack is on back order for 6-8 weeks. This is very bad news... Someone must know someone who has a new pair or low mileage pair around.
I appreciate and will "pass it forward" when I can.
Thanks,
Drew

have you tried ernie's alloys in Miami, or Wheel Enhancement in Cali?

If there's no easy solution, replace all 4 and either sell the rears or keep them and work them into some future rotation when the Continentals are available again.

Or check out this Ebay auction - 260013268582. States approx. 60 - 70% treadlife remaining, but for $145 "buy it now" they'll get you through the 8 weeks and then toss them. Auction doesn't state whether they are "N" rated, but being that the seller separately has a pair of 285s up for auction, seems it's possible they're off a Porsche.

Cy,
Thank you also for the number to wheel enhancement, I tried them first actually and they had none.

This is not my favorite place to buy or mount tires, But NTB has a policy that any quote you bring them for tires, they have to beat it. They do not advertise this as far as I know. But I have done this on occasion and they have always beat the online quote from Tire Rack or elswhere and usually by more than just a few dollars.
