Parada Spec-X and Hankook RH06 discontinued... now what?

Hello all.

I'm in pretty desperate need of some new shoes. I've got the stock 20" rims, so a 265/50R20 tire. In doing the requisite research on all the sites, I saw the Yokohama Spec-X and Hankook Ventus RH06 come up EVERY time as the best tires to get.

Unfortunately, I've called around and the tire stores here claim they've called the manufacturers and can't get them any more. Don't really want to play the game of piecing together 4 tires by getting 1 from Amazon, and 2 from some other place and 1 from the back of some guys garage...

So since the favorites for everyone are now gone, what are people using as their replacement tires? I'd be curious on some opinions about other tires that are NOT the Parada's or RH06s...

Thoughts, opinions, musings, suggestions?

Thanks!
 
Managed to get a set of the Hankook RH06 off Amazon, $163 each and shipped free. Wow what a difference new tires has made. Definitely recommend these if you can find them.

The best tires I owned so far:good:
 
Toyo proxies st II. Have had them for last year and like them. Had the paradas before.
 
I originally bought a set of the Kooks from Discount Tire. They had to order them... well they basically F'ed up the ordering and made me wait like 2 weeks before they told me they couldn't get the Kooks anymore. I had another shop locally that could get them, but they were only local and didn't have the coverage that DT did, so I stayed with DT to see what they could do to "make it right." They end up getting me the Yokos for like a crazy cheap deal. I couldn't pass up the cost, so I went with those.

I've never had a set of Yokos before and honestly I'm not terribly impressed with them. They are a little loud and not the best "feel" if that makes sense. When I drop and start needing to replace tires, I'll be looking for something else.
