Default Used Rear Tires For 2002 S2K

Does any one have a pair of used Bridgestone Potenza S-02 for sale?

Alternatively, any economical suggestions for Summer rears to match my front S-02 which still have good trends.

I spent my money on Winter tires which worked out great but now need Summer rears.

One suggestion I had from Baskin & Lane was Fuzion ZRi which are made by Bridgestone @ $176 each. Cheaper than the S-02 @ $322.

Tire size for my stock 2002 is 225/50/16.

Thanks,

Hmmm...different fronts and rears isn't an ideal situation from a handling perspective... you might want to consider a couple of OEM S-02s from Tire Rack for not much more than the Fuzions, and way less than the S-02s from B&L. The price below shows UPS shipping, however I ordered a set of Eagle F1 GS-D3s a couple of weeks ago for my son's car and they shipped all 4 FedEx ground for $76 U.S. UPS is despised because they charge stupid amounts for brokerage and duty; FedEx charges are much lower.

Tire Rack said they had so many complaints about UPS from Canadian customers they switched to Fed Ex. At today's exchange rates (www.xe.com) the tires and shipping come to $442 Canadian. If you want an exact cost on duty/brokerage fees (if any) from FedEx, just give 'em a call.

How the hell did you get them to ship with FedEx?
I was told emphatically that they do not deal with FedEx to Canada.
Paid $53 just for brokerage to UPS just two weeks ago. Damn rip off.

All I did was ask...the customer service guy was well aware that we Canucks hate UPS; said they've been shipping FedEx Canada ground for a while.

When I bought the tires for CSX, UPS was the only option... but my tires were shipped via Fedex as well.
