Apparently discontinued. I need one. I have three with essentially zero miles on them, and want a full set.
Anyone know where a single can be found? Google shows availability until checkout, then notifies me of backorder after running my credit card. Commies.
They're out of production, no more 15 inch. I'm not happy about it either.
Crud.
Have you considered staggered sizes? You're gonna need a wheel or 2- could you buy a pair of wheels in a different size?
You'd still have a similar amount in the budget- cost of 2 used wheels, cost of 1 tire needed to be purchased, and the 2nd tire should be nearly an even swap for the almost new tire you've got (but won't use).
I know it still costs a pair of tires in the real world (and may leave you driving sizes you don't actually want)
Its a good tire. Sad to hear it's discontinued.
I actually scrounged up another slipstream to make a whole set of those as there was only two salvageable C ones left once I got stuff dismounted and inspected. And yeah I really wanted a matching set of Continentals on this car. I love Continental Tires they're my favorites. On anything.
Check your local tire stores... They may have a NOS tire buried in their storage... I found a tire this way for my wife's SUV when she needed a match for a set of Michelins that were out of production.
Good luck..
In reply to ggarrard :
I actually tried that first. I always prefer to shop local when I can. Nobody around here has one that I've been able to locate. Haven't been able to find one on eBay or Facebook either
205/45-16 is the same sized donut with a bigger hole, and is available. 16" wheels can be had cheap.
I put in the keyword phrase
205/50/15 Continental
into FB within 500 miles of Charlotte, NC and came back with this in North Columbus, OH
3 for $375 with a questionable 4th thrown in free
Further out, 1 @ $50 in Dallas but verify if it is correct model (ther ad is not real clear)
Might be two in NYC
Also ask sellers for photos of the build date stamped into the tire.
I'm surprised that 205/45/16 (which I have on my FiST in the ECS 02) is more popular than 205/50/15.
It's really a shame to see 15 and 16" sizes going away. I even notice 17" sizes seem to be getting more scarse. In many cases the tires that remain are in more value oriented brands.
