Default Is Dunlop going to replace the SSR with something else?

I'm having a tough time finding another brand tire in the correct sizes to replace my SSR's.

I heard last year that the SSR was being discountinued to bring over a Europe-spec tire, but, of course, we haven't seen anything.

What size are you looking for? I have a pair of 245x17s that are lightly scrubbed that I'm willing to part with, though shipping across the country to you would get expensive.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I need 18" tires.

I've been asking this question for months. I even emailed Dunlop. No response. It's really too bad, because the SSR was an outstanding dual-purpose tire. I gave up and just bought some Toyo RA1's.

So Eric, what is your impression of the Toyo RA1's?
