Aren't they supposed to be out of production while they sort getting another EU drivel standards marking put on the sidewall? Shouldn't think that will take that long.

If you want an everyday tyre the Falken is good ( infact for all round performance I rate them over the A008 )

For grip, A032r's, no other option...
