ContiSportContact3 - 245/30/20 discontinued?
Luke, or anyone in the industry,
I had a sidewall failure on my ConitSportContact3 (245/30/20) last Fall, due to under-inflation. I've been on my stock wheels and all-season tires since then, but i was looking at replacing that tire for the spring. I can't find that size on the Tirerack website, so I can only assume that it's discontinued. Can someone confirm this? Do I have any chance of Conti replacing the tire with old stock, or at least pro-rating a pair of something comparable? I can, and probably should, run 255/30/20, which is offered ContiSportContact3 flavor, but that would require a replacement of both fronts.
Or am I just SOL and have to replace both fronts with something else. It's a shame, because they only have maybe 5000 miles on them.
