Hankook tires

Looking for a tire outlet that carries the Hankook Optimo 195/60R14 but it's been a bit of a challenge. Is the Optimo tire discontinued?? Who carries this tire brand and size?? That is the make and exact tire size I want to use with a set of black HX wheels on a '93 Civic. Nothing fancy -- just a plain jane DX with a 5-speed.

Did you check tire rack or discount tire?

So far no luck. Discount tire website doesn't even list it. Instead it shows the "Kinergy" passenger car tire.

Even tried the Walmart site but they only have that tire size in a 15-in diameter wheel.

Same thing with tirerack. Will try calling the listed phone # this week.

Ebay has that tire but only 1 which doesn't much good as I need an entire set. If there was 2 even that would be decent to start with..

Re: Hankook tires

The Optimo was discontinued in 2018 and replaced with the Kinergy.

How is the Optimo still available in size 195/60R15 from tire rack and Walmart?? I can only assume those places are selling pre-2018 tires..

Re: Hankook tires

Why are you so obsessed with having that specific tire?
Any tire that size will work, if you're concerned with getting a good tire just make sure it's from a reputable brand.

Because they haven't sold out all their stock yet, but I can assure you, the tire was discontinued.

I believe you and will most likely get the upgraded Kinergy.
