315/25/19 Continental Sportcontact 6 apparently available in UK, attempting to import
I've been looking around the web for 315/25's since I don't want to mismatch my AWD coupler with 305/30's and I don't want to run the poor performing Toyo T1 or the Nitto Invo. I found that they sell these in the UK in the Sportcontact 6 and I am trying to get a set. I sent off a few emails so we'll see what I can do. They have the matching 235/35/19 as well. I read some reviews on them and they are comparable to the Michelin PSS so they should be good tires.

DOT certification is a potential problem. These are OEM on the Audi R8, though not in our sizes. Have not heard back from anyone yet but I'll keep emailing before I try phone calls.

It is possible that they got them tested and molded in the label and have not imported them for some reason. I know the R8 and I think the Cayman use these tires, so there are some available here but not in the sizes I need. Thanks for any help!

Looks like no 315 in the North American version. Back to trying to import.
If anyone else wants a set make sure you post up here, sort of like a petition. I'll send this thread around and maybe we can get something done.

Update: I think that the US version of the 235/35/19 is just about the same tire with some minor tread updates, so I won't worry about that one as I can get it next month. So now just trying to import the 315/25/19. I have a lead that may work, giving this a try. This company is like the Tirerack of Europe. If we can just confirm that the tires have a DOT rating I don't think there will be any problems. Here is their response to my email:

Here's a pic I found of a SC6 tire that is not currently sold in the US, it has a DOT marking at the top so I think it is probable that the 315/19 does as well and this is should be legal.
