Default Have ES100's gone up in price?

I just hopped on tirerack.com to order (2) 245/45/16, and (2) 205/55/16 yokohama es100 tires and the total price was around $405. Last time I remember it was approx 380 or so. It also says they're on back order right now.. are there any other websites that have them available at decent pricing?

edit: they actually have the rears available, but they're the ones that are 225/50/16 which from what i've read, isn't the correct rear tire size. should i just order them anyways? i can see the white lines in my rear tires and feel unsafe driving my car around like this.

I was just on there today and they have s "SUPER SALE" on REO50A's (Around 40% off)

Much better tire for a few bucks more than the 100's.

Hmm, neither of those tires posted show up on tirerack.com when I enter in 245/45/16 as the tire size. My last resort will be to order two es100 fronts from tirerack.com and two es100 rears from another website. I'm willing to try new tires also but don't know where I'd be able to find them. Discount tires selection seems fairly limited.

My bad, I was searching for 255/40/17 for my car...
Sorry for the confusion.

The Kumho MX's are available in the OEM size, and from what I can tell are OK to use. The may not be as wide as the S-02's but no one seems to have a tread width to use as a comparison. I almost bought them to measure it myself.

Also, the MX's are a grade higher performance wise, so in general they won't last as long as the ES100's, but they will have better stick and response.
