Hi guys. So I was driving home from work yesterday and got the low tire pressure warning on my right rear. I just put my winters on and did not check the pressures after mounting, so I was hoping for low air pressure due to fluctuating temperatures, stupidity etc... I pulled over and it turns out that I have a flat tire. No big deal, I have a spare in the trunk, 10 mins of cursing and freezing my a$$ off and I'm on my way.
Today I dropped off the tire to get it fixed and it turns out I have a tear in the sidewall. Need a new tire. My problem is that I have a matching set of Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tires in 245/40/18 sizes and can't find a matching tire anywhere. I tried google, tirerack, discount tire, Dunlop website, amazon, eBay, Craigslist without any luck. I have a good amount of tread left on the tires to just replace them all...
Any help in locating one or two of these tires would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays!

I may have a set laying around in my shed. I have to check whether or not they were winters.
PM me your #.

Thanks! That's the only tire I found, but it has a torn bead... I just went ahead and bought a couple of Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's. Thanks again for your help.
