That's weird not having 245/50-18 non-RFT's available. I bought two in Bishop, Calif. that were made by Hancook (Korea). 100WS. May have been a fluke that the tire shop had them, as Bishop, while not remote, isn't surrounded by much civilization.
Took them off after 1500 miles and replaced them with Goodyear LS2's that were on originally. Those took about a week and a half to show up ... go figure.
