Well, no, they are actually really good, but what do you do to find a replacement. Punctured a sidewall and Tirerack is back-ordered for 3-4 weeks, and retail shops don't have them but can order at a ridiculous price (and then probably really can't get them). Anyone know where I can order an OEM rear So-2 92W.

Tire Rack is your best bet unless you want to pay alot more through Honda dealers. Just got mine about two weeks ago before they ran out. I believe Honda dealers charge around $250 a piece.

At least one of the Discount Tire outlets in this area has quoted good prices and relatively quick delivery. If you haven't tried them yet give them a call.. I think there is more than one in your area.

One of the members here was happy about about a price quote from the one in Plano on 75.. My guess it is the one @ (972)423-6045. He said he was quoted a price less than tirerack but they had to order them with two day lead time.

Just called 'em, and they won't order them Called the one on Parker Road as suggested by another member (972) 578-9561, and their price was, get this.....$360 PER TIRE!!! If anyone has actually gotten an OEM at a reasonable price, I want to see it.

Tex, you may not like to hear this but I called Conner at tirerack.com yesterday and he told me he had three rear s02's in stock. I bought 2 right then an there for $398.60 including shipping. I wonder what happened to the third s02 he had in stock.

Anyway, my tires should arrive Friday or Monday.

BTW I called some local places by me before I called tirerack. The best price I found for two rears was approx $550.
