Where can I get these tires? I am trying to find 2 replacement tires for my firehawk-Firestone FireHawk 275/40-17inch. I tried the two tire sponsers here but neither carries them.

I ordered mine through the dealership I work at. Strange, though, I had to give the tire company my VIN #...they said they weren't selling them to anyone who's car did not have them OEM.
I don't know if they still sell them, but Mid-America Vette had them in their latest catalog.

Even the Firestone website doesn't list them. I found tires with the same "Sz50EP" model # (on one of the internet tire companies) but the tread is completely different. I am planning on calling SLP on monday to see if they can help

I did not find them on the website, but they are on page 4-49 of the C4 catalog. The PN for the 275/40/17's is 612-586, priced at $189.99/piece.

discontinued Well you will have to replace all 4 tires if you want the same tread pattern on your Hawk. SR50EP are discontinued from production. Some dealer still may have them in stock still , but that will be the last. I tried to order 4 for my 2000 HAWK . I had no luck in finding 4 
. I went with Goodyear F1s. So much for Originality.

My camaro came with Goodyears from the factory but swithed to Firestones cause were $200 cheaper a set, but are really hard to find. Bridgestone has some decent ones and are easier to find.
