its on the shoulder of hte tire you can plug and drive around, but they probably told you that.

It was right on the outside edge, like 1" in. I had their road hazard insurance so it actually paid off for once.

Got a new Star Spec installed at Discount Tire over lunch. The manager told me that Dunlop had discontinued the Star Spec and they had a tough time finding one for me. Has anyone heard about a replacement?

I haven't. TireRack doesn't show them as discontinued yet, but if they do I might have to watch for a good clearance sale!

Hell if they discontinue them, I don't think they will have a hard time selling the remaining ones at a lower price.

I'd probably buy an extra set for when my current ones go!

What he said is that Dunlop themselves no longer have any...they are still available in distribution. He had to order mine from a competitor, basically. I wouldn't take Discount Tires' word as fact but it took me by surprise since I hadn't heard anything.

Considering Star Specs are widely viewed as one of the best street performance tires available, I sincerely hope (and really doubt) Dunlop would entirely discontinue them-- at least not without having a replacement or extension following closely behind.

Hopefully they listen to consumers and make something with equal/better performance that's lighter in weight.

The rumor is false:

Tire rack is now the exclusive distributor of the Star Spec. Buy now or pay more later..

Believing anything Discount Tire says is just asking for insult. When the Dunlop Z1 first came out (pre Star Spec) they didn't even know what it was, two different stores tried selling me a DZ101 instead.

Yeah, I found out about that poking around the Internet. I almost used Tire Rack the last time but I wasn't sure who I'd have mount them. I guess that settles it for my next set.

Tire Rack has a Lancer on the main page right now. Not an Evo...maybe an RA. Not familiar with those wheels.
