22" Rubber.....
So I'm trying to get something together for the CL, most likely in 22", but tires are proving to be a problem. Do I have it right, 245 or 255/30 F, 295/25 R? The rear tires are the issue, availability seems to be quite limited. I've always been a Michelin guy, but the rears are in short supply (and nearly $500each!) . You can get Pirelli for the front, but apparently they have dropped the 295/25 rear, as there are none out there and Tirerack doesn't even list it anymore. I know Conti has a couple of new tread designs, but never been a big fan. Can someone give me some insight? Is there another size that is appropriate that I am missing? Thanks if you can help....

How about....
the Vredestein? Used to be a big name in tires, but who knows now? The guy at my tire store really likes them, says if he wasn't going to buy Michelins, that's what he'd use....

Perhaps I've overestimated this...
But if you haven't looked, there are very few choices left in these sizes. I'm thinking if your planning on keeping your wheel setup, you better find something you like and hold on to them.
